Dear Families-
Thank you to the families that could join us last night at Literacy Night. We had an awesome turnout of almost 400 people! It was a night filled with community building, fun and learning. Thank you to Mrs. Kenny, Mrs. Reeves and the many teacher volunteers that helped make the night a success.
Please check out the attachment for an upcoming Community Club fundraiser.
Our brand-new Hillside Elementary building is nearly ready to welcome students! Over the past several months, our community has had the chance to watch the new school take shape, and we cannot wait to begin this next chapter together. Please review the important dates and details below to help make our transition smooth.
Moving Timeline
- Thursday, October 30 – Students will bring personal items from their desks and classrooms to their new spaces during school. Teachers and staff will help guide this process.

Our new playground will be accessible to students during the school day and to families after school hours. Please follow the posted signs and supervision guidelines to ensure safety.

We are proud to share that the OneWorld School Health Clinic will be opening inside our new building next semester. This clinic will provide accessible health services to students and families right here on campus. More details will be shared in the coming weeks.
Bricks From the Old School
