The Hillside Organization of Parents and Educators (Hillside PTO) brings parents and teachers together to enrich our school community and enhance the educational experiences of our students. Our organization is comprised of many dedicated volunteers, and we welcome new parents to contribute their many talents to extend our initiatives.

Classroom supplies and special projects
We also sponsor additional Teacher and Student resources:
