Husky E-News

Hillendale families,

If you haven't had the pleasure to meet our Hillendale turkeys yet, enjoy the photo attached of our feathered friends who have made our campus their new home!

In the spirit of the season, I simply wanted to share with you all how thankful I am to be a part of the Hillendale school community. I am blessed to work here with the best staff imaginable and the greatest kids and families a principal could ever ask for. I hope you all have a terrific Thanksgiving!

As a reminder, we will have 12:25 PM dismissals this week on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday (11/25 - 11/27) for fall conferences. Kindergarten will run on a modified schedule (AM K - 9:10 - 10:40 AM & PM K - 10:55 AM - 12:25 PM) on Monday & Tuesday (11/25 - 11/26). There is NO KINDERGARTEN on Wednesday, 11/27. School is closed for all students on 11/28 & 11/29 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Have a great week!

Joshua Leight

Hillendale Elementary Principal

On behalf of our Transportation Department, please be advised that many of our buses are at or near capacity. All requests for students to ride home with friends on other buses should be sent to the main office for approval will as much time in advance as possible so we can receive permission from our Transportation Office to ensure there is a seat for your child. Thank you in advance!

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.
