Photos from our Adult ESL classes continue to pour in, and we love to see it! Hillside Public Schools are the pillar of education in our community, not only for children, but also for adults as well! Great work staff and students, and thank you Ms. Rivera for sharing these awesome images!

The following post was contributed by Ms. Modena - " Exploring Science with Ms. Modena's Kindergarten Class! " Today, our little engineers took charge, piloting the OpenSciEd science program to cool down the blacktop. Learning that engineers make plans to solve problems, we drew designs to tackle the hot blacktop issue! 🎨🌐✨ The power of imagination and careful thinking in action! 🌟👩🔬👨🔬 #LittleEngineers #ProblemSolversInTraining"
Great work Ms. Modena, and the incredibly intelligent kindergarteners of Hillside Public Schools!




Hey Hillside, did you know that it's American Education Week? American Education Week happens annually the week before Thanksgiving! "Each day of the week has its own theme, during which public-school community members and workers are celebrated! "Festivities honor the team of people who work in our nation’s public schools, everyone from the bus driver and classroom teacher to the cafeteria worker and administrative staff, plus countless others!"
Today we recognize and celebrate Education Support Professionals! Be sure to thank the workers of Hillside Public Schools wherever you see them!

Social media only allows us to post 10 photos, but that's just a small percentage of the number of images we have of Halloween here at Hillside Public Schools! Schools across our district hosted Halloween parades, including A.P. Morris, Deanna Taylor, Hurden Looker, and Ola Edwards! At Hillside High School, both students and staff dressed in costumes, and Mrs. Deutsch's AP Language and Composition students even wrote short horror stories! It's been a fun, creative day in Hillside Public Schools, and these are just a few pictures that capture the spirit of today's celebrations. More content to come! @hillsidehs_schoolcounseling @hillsidestuco @partycity @spirithalloween

Hillside Innovation Academy Scholars express their gratitude to Dr. Lamont Repollet, President of Kean University and Dr. Sancha Gray, Senior Vice President for Entrepreneurial Education Initiatives @keanuniversity for bringing keynote speaker @shaunboothe's "Unauthorized Biography Series" on October 26th, to our HIA Scholars.

Mr. Boothe performed for our scholars, while simultaneously educating them about cultural pioneers including Muhammad Ali, Oprah Winfrey and Jimi Hendrix! HIA extends a warm thank you to Principal Victoria Palmer-Gilliard and Principal Rahim Graham for supporting Kean Stage's Manager, Steve Cochran and his assistant Emily Bonaria with the pre-event setup and for allowing us to host Mr. Shaun Boothe at A.P. Morris' Auditorium.

A.P. Morris Pre-K classes visited Wightman Farms in Morristown on Oct 24th. Students rode a tractor, picked pumpkins, walked a hay maze, and had apple cider and donuts! It was a day filled with fun and learning about pumpkins!

We have enough photos from Pink Out Day to post about it for weeks on end, it's safe to say it was a massive success here at Hillside Public Schools! Here are just a FEW images of students and staff from each school in our district, as well as the Board Office. The best pink-out-attired school hasn't been awarded yet, it's a hard decision, but how are you liking the pink spirit from last Friday? :)
