Welcome back, Hillview Warriors!
 
This is your proud principal, Ms. Agudo - and on behalf of our entire staff, I want to welcome all of our students and families to the 2026–2027 school year. We are excited to begin another year of learning, growth, and success together. This year's theme is "It Takes a Village to Raise a Warrior." We truly believe that when families, staff, students, and our community work together, there is no limit to what our Warriors can achieve. Thank you for partnering with us as we support every student's journey.
 
A few important reminders as we kick off the year:
  • The 1st day of school is Wednesday, August 5th. 
  • School begins each day at 8:30 a.m.
  • Wednesday dismissal is at 1:50 p.m.
  • Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday dismissal is at 2:52 p.m.
  • Free breakfast and lunch will be available to all students every school day in our Cafeteria 
  • Please use our designated student drop-off and pick-up locations at the two different bus loops to help keep traffic flowing safely and efficiently for everyone.
  • Student and Staff Safety is one of our top priorities: To help ensure that we have a safe campus on a daily basis, we have a full time security staff on campus who assists with supervision, monitoring our entry and exit points. We also will have our returning School Resource Officer (SRO), Officer Bermudez, assigned to HJHS. The SRO is on campus to help ensure the safety of our students and staff. 
  • Hillview and all PUSD schools remain a closed-campus in order to help ensure the day to day safety of our students. Students must remain on campus throughout the school day and may only leave with parent/guardian permission. We encourage you to schedule medical appointments in the afternoon, after the end of the school day, to minimize your child’s absences in their classes.  
  • Students are not permitted to door dash or uber eats any food or other items to campus from 3rd party vendors. Parents are able to drop off food for students directly in the Hillview office, but our school will not accept door dash or uber eats delivery for our students.
  • As a reminder, per board policy, we remain a uniform district. Students should wear black or blue bottoms with a solid white, navy, gray, or black top. If you wish to request a uniform waiver, forms must be picked up from the Office of Student Services located at the district office and signed by the site principal.
  • We also want to remind families and students of our district and school cell phone policy. Cell phones are not permitted during class time or passing periods. Cell phone use is only allowed before and after school and during the students' lunch break. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a focused and respectful learning environment. If you need to get ahold of your child, please contact the front office. 
 
We're thrilled to welcome students back to an improved campus! This year you'll enjoy our completed construction projects, a newly renovated multipurpose field, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, 24 outdoor basketball courts, and two new tennis courts. We can't wait for you to experience these exciting new spaces.
 
Students - please come to school each day prepared by bringing your backpack, textbooks, student planner, and all class materials. Being prepared is one of the best ways to set yourself up for success. We are looking forward to an incredible school year filled with learning, friendships, and new opportunities. Together, let's make the 2026–2027 school year our best yet.
 
Welcome back, Warriors! We can't wait to see you on campus! I am looking forward to leading our school into an exciting year ahead!
