Last evening, the Board of Education awarded a bid to renovate the High School Performing Arts Center. This project is possible due to the success of our 2023 referendum and will commence at the end of the current school year. Please take a moment to look at the renderings.
The voyage of the Mayflower was launched from the Hillside Intermediate School.
Rebecca Czekaj recently guided her 6th grade Science students at Hillside through a fun STEM challenge: The Mini Mayflower.
Students were given one sheet of foil, one straw, scissors, one sheet of paper, tape and glue (by request) and were challenged to build a boat that would hold the most pilgrims (pennies).
The students tested their designs in a tub of water. The winning boat was able to hold 150 pennies plus a few nickels and a few marbles!
Great work, Ms. Czekaj!

Dear Hillside Family:
In order to make sure that all of our students are dismissed from school in a safe and effective manner, please make note of the following procedure.
Any change in regular dismissal arrangements must be reported to the school by filling out the “Attendance, Tardy and Change in Dismissal Reporting Form” on the PowerSchool Parent Portal. For example, if your student usually takes the bus but will be picked up on a specific day, we must receive the PowerSchool form indicating who will be picking up the student, and the time of pick up if an early dismissal.
Also, if your student is regularly a car rider, even though they have a bus assignment, please also fill out the “Attendance, Tardy and Change in Dismissal form. We will mark them as a car rider for the rest of the year. Then we would need the Parent Portal form filled out only when they will take the bus.
Filling out the PowerSchool form ensures that the attendance office, main office and homeroom teacher are all aware of the dismissal arrangements and helps keep our students safe!
Thank you for your cooperation!
Sincerely,
Dr. Tali Axelrod
Principal

These student Hawks flew off the buses, soared from their family cars, and took a walk to enter the open doors and arms of the Hillside Intermediate School on Wednesday, September 4.
On this beautiful morning, all 11 schools in the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District began the 2024-2025 school year.
Hillside's dedicated staff, led by Principal Dr. Tali Axelrod and Assistant Principal Jacquelyn Ciurleo, were there to greet the 2024-2025 edition of the Hillside Hawks
There was plenty of excitement when students and families visited Hillside Intermediate School’s Grade 5 Open House on Tuesday, August 27.
The students and families toured the school and were educated on the layout and philosophies.
“It was amazing to talk and see the new students and parents and hear how excited they are to start here at Hillside," said Dr. Tali Axelrod, the Hillside principal.
Also excited were the central office staff, who could return to their friendly surroundings after upgrades were done over the summer.
A new security vestibule and the new gym floor that was recently varnished were other projects that will result in the start of school on Wednesday, September 4, an exciting event.
These critical upgrades were funded by our 2023 District Referendum.
Welcome back to School! School starts for ALL students on Wednesday, September 4, 2024! Check the website for Student Hours.
