Apologies
Wrong time posted for Literacy Night
To all our Hillside Families:
I deeply apologize for my error in posting the time frame for Literacy Night. I had it posted as 6:00-8:00 pm, when in reality it was 6:00-7:30 pm. I had that posted in my newsletter for several weeks.
I am so sorry if this created an inconvenience for anyone. I, of course, did not catch my error! Thanks for your understanding.
Mrs. Bailey, Principal of 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.
