Attendance

At the beginning of the school year, getting into the habit of daily attendance is more important than ever. It helps to:

Reduce stress
Make it easier to connect with friends and teachers
Support Learning

Daily habits and routines are a great way to set your student up for success!

We are working to make Hillside an environment where everyone can be safe, healthy and learning. We look forward to partnering with you so that our students have a successful year!
