Please help! Students arriving too early!
Please help us! With the nice weather, we now have students arriving at Hillside at 8:00 a.m. or even earlier daily. We do not provide supervision out front until 8:15 a.m. It is imperative that students are not unsupervised and waiting out front earlier than 8:15 a.m.
If we have an incident, argument, or accident before we are able to provide supervision, there will be a delay in our ability to assist with the situation. Please, please do not bring or send your students to Hillside so that they arrive much before 8:15 a.m.!
We really appreciate your assistance.
Cynthia Bailey, Principal
