What a performance tonight by the Hilton Jazz Ensemble at the Rochester International Jazz Festival in the big tent.
The Hilton Central School District would like to congratulate Class of 2014 graduate Diana Meyer (Russo) who was recently crowned United States of America's Mrs. at the National Pageant in Las Vegas. Diana had earned the title of United States of America's Mrs. New Jersey in the fall.

Congratulations Diana!
A warm welcome to our new Assistant Principals at Village Elementary School. Caitlin Law will be joining us from the Fairport CSD where she served as a sitting assistant principal at the Dudley School. Kim Eichas will be joining Village from the Churchville-Chili Middle School where she served as a House Administrator. Both were approved at last night's Board of Education meeting. We're happy to have you as part of the Hilton team!
At tonight's Board of Education meeting the Board honored Therese Flannery who is leaving the Board after six years of service. Thank you Therese!

Because of next week’s forecast which calls for heat indexes reaching in excess of 100 degrees we will be moving to a half day schedule for grades K-8 on Monday, June 23 and Tuesday, June 24 for students only. We have made this decision due to a lack of sufficient air conditioning in some of our buildings and with the best interest of our students in mind.
The dismissal times for each school are as follows:
Merton Williams Middle School-10:15
Northwood and Village Elementary Schools-11:00
QUEST Elementary School-11:35
Exams taking place at the high school on these days will not be impacted.
Field day at QUEST today meant plenty of laughs, lawn games and of course, the water slide!
