Happy Winter Break to All!
We are coming to the halfway point in our school year: Winter Break. This is a time for teachers and administrators to rest and reset; it's also a time for families to have some quality time together, maybe slow down a little bit, and remember the reason for the season.
We here at Hillside are grateful for our Hillside community. It is a privilege to work with so many families who care about their kids and who care about their school. Please know that we wish you all good things this Winter Break. We will be dismissing that Thursday, December 21, at 1:00 pm so that teachers can head home to their families a little early.
May your Winter Break bring you peace, love, and lots of cookies.

PBiS Particulars
We are a PBiS school! PBiS stands for Positive Behavior Support and Intervention. PBiS does more than just recognize those students who are doing the right thing. PBiS can also help students who need to develop the skills necessary to be successful in school. As a team, we develop and refine plans for students who need a visual, a structure, feedback, and rewards to develop the skills of positive behavior.
We work on a Skill of the Week every week as a school. Look below for next week's skill!
