Medication Pick-Up: IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
The end of the school year is quickly approaching! Nebraska regulations require all medication left at school at the end of the school year be discarded. This includes inhalers and Epinephrine. The school is not able to allow your child to take the medication home themselves; a parent/guardian must pick it up!
The last day of school is usually very busy, and sometimes picking up medication is forgotten. We suggest, if possible, you plan to pick up medication from our health room early in the final week of school, leaving just enough medication for the remaining school days. This does not apply to inhalers and Epinephrine, as those medicines must remain in the health room when the student who may require it is present. You can plan to pick up inhalers and Epinephrine on the last day of school.
We will be contacting you regarding medication that might be necessary for summer school. Thank you for your help!

Community Club News
Community Club would like to thank our entire Hillside community for helping us to reach our $10,000 goal during the latest fundraiser. It was a group effort, and these funds will help us to put on all-school functions, such as STEAM Day, Literacy Night, the Art Show, the school dance, and more! We are grateful for the support of our Hillside community.
PBiS Particulars
We are a PBiS school! PBiS stands for Positive Behavior Support and Intervention. PBiS does more than just recognize those students who are doing the right thing. PBiS can also help students who need to develop the skills necessary to be successful in school. As a team, we develop and refine plans for students who need a visual, a structure, feedback, and rewards to develop the skills of positive behavior.
We work on a Skill of the Week every week as a school. Look below for next week's skill!
