The class that raises the most money will receive a pizza party from Mrs. Durham!
Fundraising: Our Fundraising has begun and will run through the day of the Walkathon. As a school, we insist that NO STUDENT go door-to-door fundraising to people unknown to the student. Students may solicit donations from relatives, friends, co-workers of parents and neighbors (if done under supervision).

Math Night and Dinner October 24th 5:00-6:30 PM
Did you know that careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are growing more than twice as fast as the rest of the job market? Here at Hillside Elementary, we know how valuable math is to your child’s future. But do you know how fun it can be?!
Come find out at our Math Night event, on October 24th at HES from 5:00-6:30 pm. This Math Night will be a fun, family-friendly event that sparks passion for STEM through activities and games for BOTH students and their families. A pizza dinner will also be provided!
You and your child will explore … inspire … empower … and educate yourselves about how much fun math can be. You will also learn simple things you can do at home to foster your student’s interest in Math. Most importantly, you will get the chance to connect with other families while you and your children learn and play together.
Research shows that family engagement leads to greater student success. Students with engaged parents are more likely to earn higher grades, attend school regularly, have better social skills and go on to college. We are very excited to see family engagement come alive at Math Night, and we hope to see you there!

PurposeFull People character traits for our students of the month
October 2024 RESPONSIBILITY
During the month of October, our Hillside staff will be celebrating scholars who demonstrate responsibility. Our Hillside scholars will be learning and practicing responsibility. We encourage our families to practice this trait at home too!
Responsibility: taking action and understanding the impact of our choices
Think About It
Here are some questions to ask your child at home or talk about as a family:
K-2 What are the responsibilities you have at home? How do people know what they are responsible for? Which responsibilities are you really good at?
3-5 Why is it important to show Responsibility at home? Where are some other places that we can show responsibility, and how does responsibility look the same or different as it does at home?
Student Absence
If your student will be absent for the day, please call our office at 541-830-1225 or email islasg@eaglepnt.k12.or.us. Thank you for helping to keep our school healthy by keeping students home when they are sick.
