I love Hillandale! I went here from kindergarden to 5th grade and it was the best school ever! Pretty much all the teachers I got were so amazing and really cared about me. Whenever I go and vist for spring fling the place is filled with color and happiness and good times. I will never forget Hillandale.
As a teacher, a parent, and a former student, I can say that there is no other school that measures up to Hillandale. We are a caring family, who not only has high expectations for our students, but care about them deeply and cheer their successes.
Hillandale Elem. school provides excellent educational experiences for its students and allows them to grow and excel. The staff is tops professionally and very loving and nurturing, from the principal Sandi Bates to Ms.Norma in the cafeteria staff who sings to each child on their birthday. I am a teacher who sent my child to Hillandale and I'd highly recommend our school to anyone who wants the best for their child.
I Love Hillandale because it is a great place to be. I came to Hillandale in 1982 and I am still their. We are one big happy family who works together to help EVERYONE no matter what ! ! Our school succeeds to the highest for all students. We have high expectations for all. I Love to work their. Our principal is fantastic and great.
Hillandale is the best school that i've been in. It makes you feel like family and a place you would like to be in. It's also a clean school and you could eat off the floors if possible.
Hillandale Elementary school is the best school in which to teach!! ! We are a family and we have an outstanding community, whose support is unparalleled!!
Hillandale has great, dedicated teachers and a wonderful principal. It also has a strong and active PTA which supports the school in many ways. The children enjoy going to school, and build lasting relationships with the teachers. I often see older kids coming in and visiting teachers they had when they were young.
The Hillandale teachers are very motivated and are very encouraging to the students. They really try to tailor their instruction for the individual needs of each student. My daughter loves both her regular class and the after-school care program.
The principal is fantastic! She has an open door to listen to all concerns. The school is orderly, the children are happy and the parents involved.
We have an awesome elementary school because of the amazing Principal and exceptional staff. They go out of their way to help each and every child succeed!
My son has learned to like learning and going to school. He has seen how smart he is and is proud of himself!
Everyone is great and we are one BIG Family!!! My co-workers are awesome and the students are the greatest. We as a school, care about each other as well as work together. It is my second home.
children, teachers, cafeteria staff, administration, custodians.......EVERYONE works to love and teach our children - our students return years later to walk the halls and re-connect to those who loved and taught them years ago
Hillandale is a warm and caring environment for children. They are learning so much more than the curriculum and have amazing people who work there who help guide them. I am so lucky to work there!
I love Hillandale because everyone is involved with the kids from the principle to the all the teachers. We feel as if our kids have their own personal relationship with their teachers and the teachers really do care.
I love Hillandale Elementary Schoo, beause all the teachers are great and make a difference for my kids. the princepal is always near by and a nice smart hands on lady. the school is great and so is the pta and parents.
As a teacher, the administration does not support the staff. There is no compassion for staff or from peers!!! Im ready to find another job!
