From the Principal

Hillendale families,

I hope you're having a great weekend. Thank you so much for your time, attention, and generosity last week in support of our Husky Hustle! Students and staff enjoyed a new twist on an old tradition all while having fun and getting some exercise!

This Wednesday is World Kindness Day. As "Kindness Matters" is our theme across UCFSD for the school year, I encourage you to speak to your children about what it means to be kind at school, at home, and in your community.

This Thursday (11/14) is Picture Retake Day for interested families.

Have a great week!

Joshua Leight

Hillendale Elementary Principal

Hillendale Updates

Veterans Day at HES

On Veterans Day we come together as a nation and school community to thank and honor veterans for their service to our country. This year, we would like to offer two special ways to honor the veterans in our extended Hillendale family. Click here to learn more about how you can honor our veterans with us at Hillendale.

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.
