iPads over Holiday Breaks

Hillview is tech-free over holiday breaks!
For Thanksgiving, internet access on school iPads will be unavailable from 9:00 am on Wednesday, November 27 through 9:00 am on Sunday, December 1.
We encourage students and families to disconnect from technology and spend time together. One idea from Common Sense Media, one of our district partners, is to create a "Device-Free Dinner." Enjoy the tech-free time!
