Principal's Message

I was very pleased to see so many parents at our recent Back to School Nights. During our presentations, we spoke about our schools' goals and objectives for this school year, as well as our celebrating the many successes we have had, and we have had many at Hillside Avenue School. You, as part of our school community, and your involvement have assisted us in meeting our goals with success. The teachers, parents and students have all begun to work together to build a better future for our students; therefore, selecting the school goal was quite easy. "KEYS to Success" will once again be our school-wide theme. The students are urged to keep our theme in mind throughout the day, to work to their full potential and to challenge others to be the best they can be. We have asked them to take pride in their schoolwork, in their school environment and show respect and school spirit which hopefully will become life-long skills. I would also like to request your assistance in promoting our school-wide theme at home. Ideal ways of striving for excellence is by showing your child that you too support our "KEYS to Success" and by setting a positive example. Take an active role by talking to your child about school, their homework and what they are currently studying. You can also join the PTA and attend school functions. Whether you are attending conferences, concerts or athletic events, it is important to show your child that you care and want to be involved in their education.
