Parents and guardians:

Thank you very much for taking care to walk your children into the building and to sign them in! It is best for young people, when they are late, to rely on the parent to come in with them to support them with checking in.

As we begin to have some inclement weather, we might hold tardies for 5-6 minutes; in this case, we can let you know in the drop-off line (or just ask)!!

Hillside's philosophy is that students deserve to learn social skills right along with academics. We want our students to learn how to accept feedback gracefully, how to regulate their emotions appropriately, and how to negotiate skillfully with peers. We are committed to helping all our students to learn and grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
