Memorandum:

Dear Parents/Guardians:

The safety and welfare of our students and staff are the highest priority at Hillside High School.  At 11:12 on Wednesday, May 23, 2018, a lockdown was called because two students made a 911 prank call.  The police immediately responded and the two students were removed from the school.  I want to ensure you that at no point in time were the students in danger.  At Hillside High School we always take every precaution and err on the side of caution.  The lockdown ended at 11:50 and all students returned to class.

Principal, High School

PARENTAL EXPECTATIONS FOR THEIR CHILDREN

As we approach the final months of school, it is a good idea for parents to take the time to review the expectations they hold for their children in both the academic and behavioral areas with them.  Include a review of our Student Handbook in this discussion.  It is helpful for children to realize that their parents and teachers share the same set of positive expectations for them.

DRESS CODE ALERT

Parents, please be advised that your child MUST be wearing the school uniform, khaki pants/skirt, white, black or burgundy collared shirt each and every day.    Although your child may leave home in the school uniform, often times students change clothes once they reach their lockers. This is a direct violation of the dress code and they will be excluded. All attire must be clean and neat.  The administration of the school reserves the right to exclude any student whose clothing is disruptive to the educational process.

1. Shorts, cut-offs, hot pants, athletic shorts, and tight fitting shorts (example: bicycle or running shorts) ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.  Attire, such as culottes or pants, which fall to the knee ARE ACCEPTABLE.
2. Any article, which displays indecent writing, pictures, or slogans, is not acceptable.
3. Any article that is excessively soiled is not acceptable.
