The Hillside PTO decided to continue the tradition of offering the Original Works program as many families rely on the Original Works orders as gifts for family members. We are unable to receive and submit paper orders for the Original Works program, but the team at Original Works has set up an alternative Online Ordering Option for our school.

https://store.originalworks.com/

With online you can place orders directly through the Original Works eStore using a credit or debit card. You may use the artwork you created in class, create and submit a different piece of artwork, or even send in a photograph! Original Works will process all orders as soon as they are back in production, and will conveniently ship them to your home for a nominal charge.

Enter the driveway through the main entrance.

If you are dropping off Hillside items such as library books, or other materials, stop at entrance A1 and stay in your car.

Items being returned to the teacher should be bagged and labeled with the teacher's name. You do not need to bag and label library books.

If you are picking up student personal items, pull up to your designated curbside pick-up station (numbered 1-4) and stay in your car.

Open the trunk/tailgate of your vehicle. A Hillside staff member will place the bagged items in the trunk/cargo area.

If you are picking up medicines, pull up passed entrance A2, park and get out of your car.
