Message From the Principal

Hillside Families:

Hillside Elementary proudly serves nearly 400 Kindergarten through fourth-grade students in a nurturing environment that prioritizes social-emotional learning alongside academic rigor. Our school is committed to fostering inclusion and equity, ensuring every student finds a place to thrive and pursue their passions.


This year, we are embarking on a journey under the theme of "The Year of Hope." We believe that "Hope is the seed that grows tomorrow's dreams." We are driven to create a supportive atmosphere where every student feels valued and inspired. We are committed to ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students, fostering a sense of belonging and respect across diverse backgrounds.


Our incredible staff is critical in driving these initiatives forward, working tirelessly to enhance academic excellence and student well-being. We believe that a community where kindness, respect, and inclusive practices prevail is essential for the growth and success of our students.


Our families are not just stakeholders but integral parts of our school community. Strong partnerships and open communication with them are vital. Our students' success is a collaborative effort, significantly supported by our active Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), which contributes significantly to enriching our educational environment through various fundraisers and community activities.


Together, we are committed to making this school year one filled with hope, success, and inclusive opportunities for every student at Hillside Elementary.


Mrs. Shannon Sonnie
