Hillside District 93

Our students had an AMAZING time at our summer basketball camp.

Congratulations to my graduating choir students! You have been such a fun group - silly, social, talented, and it seems you really love to sing! I think you are amazing and I believe you all have bright futures ahead of you!

We celebrated the hard work and incredible achievements of our English Learners (ELs) on the ACCESS test! Their dedication and growth truly deserve recognition and applause. We are so proud of everything you've accomplished!

It was a beautiful day for the Beginning Band and Bluejay Chorus picnic!

Students had a great time at Field Day. Special thanks to the PE department, Hillside Staff, and Hillside Fire Department.

Field Day- Smiles are priceless! #bluejayprideD93

This week, Detective Rich Wistocki of Be Sure Consulting Inc. spoke with our 3rd through 5th and middle school students about the real risks of social media and online strangers. With years of experience in Child Cyber Crimes, Det. Wistocki shared powerful tips on staying safe online, recognizing danger, and speaking up. The night before, during our Parent University event, Det. Wistocki joined as a guest presenter to speak with parents about the same issues—offering insight into online trends, apps, and how to support children in navigating online risks safely. Det. Wistocki’s message was clear: No one has the right to make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe online. Students walked away with practical tools, confidence, and a reminder that trusted adults—like parents/guardians—are always there to help. Thank you, Det. Wistocki, for empowering our community! #bluejayprided93
