At the beginning of each school year, Hillside PTA hosts a Porch Party. Parents are invited to meet their child's new teachers, buy school supplies, take a tour of the building, and buy spirit wear. 

Each September, we celebrate and appreciate our Grandparents. Students are encouraged to invite their grandparents to come enjoy breakfast with them.

Twice a year, students have the opportunity, with their families, to purchase books from a wide selection of age-appropriate materials. This allows families to grow their home libraries, while supporting our school.

The book fair also bring in money for the library to purchase resources such as:

• new books for the library
• books for book clubs
• technology
• author visits
• makerspace materials

Hillside's PTA hosts a Fall Carnival every October. This is a time for families of previous and former students to come together for a day of fun! There is always a variety of activities to choose from; including bounce houses, face painting, games, and more.

College Day at Hillside is an opportunity for teachers to focus students on their future. Staff and students are encouraged to wear a college shirt, and classroom activities allow students to discuss where they will attend college and/or where a family member attended college.

Hillside Eagles have a chance to show off their talents at the annual Talent Show, held during our Spring Fling. This is a fun evening for students and the community to get together.

On Monday of each week, beginning in the fall, 2nd through 5th graders are given the opportunity to sign up for classes after school beginning at 4 pm and ending at 5 pm. These classes are available to all students; however, there is a sign-up period each semester. For the students who qualify for bus transportation, a separate bus route is established for their transportation home at 4 pm.

Some of the courses offered in the past are Chess, Latin Dance, Sew and So, Unearthing Science, Cross Stitch, Sports/Fitness, Cupstacking, Step Team, Drama Kids, Choir for Primary ages and 4th and 5th graders, Yearbook Staff/Photography and more.
