Hillside News & Notes

Families can read and talk in the language they use most comfortably. Audiobooks paired with print, shared reading, and adult read-alouds also offer ways to enjoy books together.

Hillside’s fall challenge: Read a little, talk a little, and enjoy the time together!

Our original November 13 meeting has been rescheduled to November 20 at 9:00 AM. We will meet at Hillside, check in with Mrs. Saner and gather in the Circle Commons. All welcome!

We were thrilled to partner with our Community Council to sponsor lunch for all Hillside staff on November 6 in celebration of Classified Staff Appreciation Day! It was a small way to show our gratitude for the incredible people who make Hillside such a special place.

If you’re interested in helping support future events and celebrations at Hillside, we’d love to have you join us at our monthly Community Club meetings! Together, we can continue finding meaningful ways to support and celebrate our Hillside community!

• Winter Weather Information: How closure and delay decisions are made and what families should know.

• Spring Weather Dismissal Protocols: How severe weather watches and warnings may affect dismissal and bus transportation.

• 2-Hour Late Starts: Start times and details about preschool, Club 66, meals, transportation, and activities.

• Weather Communication: How the district shares updates and whom to contact with questions.

Thank you for your flexibility and partnership in keeping our school community safe.

We love having family members & friends involved in our school community! If you are interested in volunteering, joining someone for lunch, or having the ability to move independently throughout the school building during visits, we encourage you to complete the district background check process.

Completing a background check helps us maintain a safe environment for all students and staff while allowing families greater access and opportunities to participate in school activities.

Any adult visiting will also need to check-in at the front office and creating a visitor passport makes this process much faster!

You may also make payments to lunch accounts in the front office with Mrs. Saner.

If you are setting up a new account and you need a student ID number, please call the front office.

ALL classroom snacks and birthday treats must come from this approved list to help ensure the safety and well-being of all students.

Our goal is to have students here everyday on time; however, we know that things arise. Please call the office at 402-390-6450 (available 24 hours a day).

When leaving a voicemail, Include:

• Student's full name
• Classroom teacher
• Reason for absence
• If your student is going to be tardy, but joining for lunch, please include a lunch preference

Students arriving after 8:30 should check-in at the front office.
