Attendance at School is IMPORTANT

Hillside Families:

Attendance at school makes a difference in your student's academic achievement. It is impossible to learn if your student is not at school. Please plan vacations around school breaks so that your student may attend as much school as is offered! Be on time, every day. We start instruction at 8:40 at the LATEST. Thank you.

Community Club News

We are so happy to announce that Mrs.Gina Kousegaard and Mrs. Brooke Johnson will be our new Community Club co-presidents. We are grateful to Mrs. Erin Palzer, our past president for three years, and we are looking forward to ushering in our Community Club's new leadership for 2025-26. Mrs. Emily Hansen will remain the Community Club Treasurer for 2024-25.

Behavior at Hillside

Social Skills and Behavior at Hillside

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.
