The Last Hillside Happenings

As we wrap up the final days of the school year, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of our families. Thank you for your incredible support, partnership, and dedication to making this an outstanding school year. We are immensely proud of our students' growth and achievements, and we are already looking forward to another fantastic year ahead!

☀️ Keeping the Learning Alive This Summer

To keep our students' minds sharp and prevent the summer slide, please remind your children to read each and every day throughout the summer months. Whether it’s a comic book, a novel, or reading aloud together, every page counts!

🎒 Looking Ahead to Fall

• We're Hiring! We are looking for a Noon Aide for the fall. It is a fantastic opportunity for a parent looking to be on the same schedule as their children.

  • Hours: 3 hours per day (10:30 AM – 1:30 PM)

  • Pay: Approximately $14.00 per hour

  • If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out to the office and we'll let you know when the job is officially posted and open for applicants.

• Get Involved with the PTA: Our PTA does incredible things for our school community. Please stay tuned for upcoming summer updates and events, and consider joining the PTA next year to make a direct impact on our students' experiences.

• Mark Your Calendars: We look forward to welcoming our students back to school for the first day of classes on Monday, August 24th! Don't forget to complete annual registration (Kindergarten and Young 5s students do not need to do this) beginning on August 3rd. Teacher assignments will be viewable in MiStar beginning on August 18th.

Have a safe, relaxing, and wonderful summer break!

- Mrs. Maas & Mrs. Amos
