Week of Respect
Every year Hillside Avenue School joins other schools across the state of NJ in celebrating The Week of Respect. HAS will be participating in whole school activities and interactive lessons. This year our students will be watching the videos below so they can learn about growth vs. fixed mindset and the power of the word "Yet". Cranford Schools believes in educating the whole child and we are a Full Value district. We will encourage the principles of Be Here, Be Safe, and Care for Self and Others with this week’s activities. We also teach the importance of Respect yourself, Respect others and Respect our school.
We encourage you to continue these discussions at home and feel free to use the below video’s to further your discussions.

No Dogs on School Property
Bringing along the family dog, especially with such pleasant weather, during arrival and dismissal has become a common practice for many. However, it does pose some safety concerns for students who have a fear of dogs.
Thanks to everyone for being mindful of keeping the school grounds free of any dogs so that all students can move about freely without worry of having to come in contact or pass by a dog on the premises.
Riding to School
1. Wear a helmet.
2. Make sure that they lock up their bike or scooter outside.
3. Obey all traffic laws and not ride in the parking lot.
