In addition to welcoming new students and families, I am excited to introduce some new staff members as well. In our Health Office, we will have a new School Nurse, Ms. Francis Liri. In Technology, we will be joined by Ms. Stacy Batallus. We will also be joined by Mr. Ruben Baker-Dekater as a new special education paraprofessional. And, with the addition of a fourth first grade classroom, Ms. Lauren Casey will make the shift from kindergarten teacher to first grade teacher. All of these staff members bring experience and enthusiasm to the Hillcrest community! ~ Sarah Burstein
