Dear Hillside Families,

Waxpool Elementary School is scheduled to open in fall 2019, with the start of the 2019-2020 academic year. In establishing a new attendance zone for Waxpool Elementary School, the attendance zone for Hillside will also be reviewed. We encourage families of Hillside to stay informed of the boundary change proceedings and participate in this review process as you feel fit for your child/children and community.

The Loudoun County School Board has scheduled a series of meetings, listed in the letter below, to facilitate the necessary attendance zone changes for the opening of Waxpool Elementary School. All of the meetings will be open to the public; all persons are invited to attend. All meetings will be held at the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Administration Building, 21000 Education Court, Ashburn, Virginia 20148. The meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m. Community members, parents and interested citizens will have the opportunity to address the School Board at the noted attendance zone public hearing dates – October 22, November 5 and December 4. The attendance zone meetings will also be broadcast live on both VerizonFIOS Channel 43 and Comcast/Channel 18, as well as viewable via simultaneous webcast on the LCPSwebsite (www.lcps.org).

The LCPS website below has further information regarding this boundary process:

[10/03/18]   Hillside families
There has been some questions about spirit wear orders. There is a delay due to the hurricane. Hopefully next 2 weeks they will be in. Thank you for your patience.

OH YA HILLSIDE!!!!! Let's get our Spirit on for tomorrow!! we are getting closer everyday.

Hello Hillside Families! We earned our spirit day tomorrow! Today, we push onward with our next challenge-- GRIT IT OUT.

Our goal of funding an updated playground for our students is not an easy one, but it is worth it, and we can do it if we keep working together! 2 more days. Let's finish strong!

Hello Hillside families!

The count down to the big run is now 3! And now we have a special challenge - "Pledge for a friend"!

Students learned today what it means to "pass the ball" in both sports and in life, that is, to be a team player. Will you and your student model this teamwork by pledging for a friend? Remember to remind them that tonight is about "giving"!

Here's the deal: If we can raise $2500 tonight to HELP OUR SCHOOL, students will earn a bonus SPIRIT DAY!

THANK YOU!

Wow!!! Hillside families we are doing great!! Remember we have only a few more days until our BiG FUN run!! Keep getting those pledges to help reach our goal. Remember the PTO helps to fund the 4th grade field trip. 5th grade party, teacher grants for continuing education and much more!! We are also working towards our new Playground!!! We are so great full for all your amazing support!!

It’s that time of year.... Ghosts, Goblins, Witches OH My!!!!looking for volunteers to help out with the annual Broadlands Halloween Costume party for grades 3-5!
