Dear Parents/Guardians,
The safety of our students at Hillcrest High School is our top priority. When issues of concern occur we
feel it is important to share them with you, so you are aware of the facts.
We recently became aware of a student enrolled at our school under false pretenses claiming to be a
displaced Hurricane Harvey victim. After learning about this situation, we immediately notified district and
local authorities and necessary actions have been taken.
We believe it is absolutely essential that every young person, especially in times of great difficulty, feels
safe and secure, and that was the guiding principal when we were welcoming students displaced by the
hurricane. This is a unique situation that shows us areas that need improving when we open our doors to
students in times of need. Safety is always our top priority, and we are reviewing our policies to
strengthen district efforts while still helping those who are in need.
Thank you for your continued support of Hillcrest High School. If you have questions or concerns, feel
free to contact us at the main office (972) 502-6800.

Sincerely,

Chris Bayer
Principal
