From the Principal
Hillendale families,
I hope you're having a great weekend. Thank you so much for your time and attention in support of our Veterans Day Ceremony this past week. With Thanksgiving break fast approaching, we appreciate you making time out of your busy schedules to attend our Fall Conferences. See more details below about how to sign up for a conference if you have not already done so.
As a reminder, we will have 12:25 PM dismissals NEXT week on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday (11/25 - 11/27) for fall conferences. Kindergarten will run on a modified schedule (AM K - 9:10 - 10:40 AM & PM K - 10:55 AM - 12:25 PM) on Monday & Tuesday (11/25 - 11/26). There is NO KINDERGARTEN on Wednesday, 11/27. School is closed for all students on 11/28 & 11/29 for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Have a great week!

Hillendale Updates
Bussing on 12:25 PM Dismissal Days
On behalf of our Transportation Department, please be advised that many of our buses are at or near capacity. All requests for students to ride home with friends on other buses should be sent to the main office for approval will as much time in advance as possible so we can receive permission from our Transportation Office to ensure there is a seat for your child. Thank you in advance!
Fall Conferences
Fall conferences are fast approaching! See full details about how to sign up for Fall Conferences at Hillendale using this link. This information was previously communicated via email but I wanted it to be available again for families that still need to arrange a conference date and time.
