Welcome!

Welcome to our school! Our mission is to educate the whole child. We believe that all children can excel at academics, and that activities and citizenship are just as important. Our students know that we have high expectations for them, and they strive to meet them. We welcome involvement from parents and the community. Please stop by and find out how you can become part of our Hillside community of learners!

Dear Hillside Community,

I would like to thank all the parents, grandparents and service men and women that attended our Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. It was wonderful to see our students take charge of the assembly and express how they would carry on the dreams and hopes of Dr. King. A special thanks goes out to Mrs. Hennessey’s class for their power-point presentation and songs.

February is a month full of student assessments and report cards. Parents can expect report cards by February 10th. There is no formal parent –teacher conferences scheduled during this reporting period, however, if you have questions or concerns contact your child’s teacher.

The PTA is looking for parent volunteers for up-coming events. The PTA has supported Hillside Elementary with new technology, books and supplies. This organization is one of the best ways to be involved and support the education process.

There will be changes to the district calendar due to recent snow day closures. Information will be posted on the district web-site as well as the Hillside Calendar. If you did not receive calls concerning school closures please up-date contact phone numbers with the office staff at Hillside Elementary.


Sincerely,


David Young
Principal-Hillside Elementary
