- The school day is from 8:05 - 2:45. Morning Mingle, weather permitting, is outside on the playground from 8:05 - 8:20. If there is no Morning Mingle, children go directly to their classrooms at 8:05. Please be sure your child arrives at school by 8:20 to help with a smooth transition from home to school as we take attendance, order lunch, etc.
- We eat a morning snack each day. Please be sure that your child has a snack to eat each day. Maybe he/she could help you pack it.
- Lunch is from 11:30-12:10. A lunch account with a PIN number can be set up with the Needham Food Service office.
- At Hillside we believe that children should go outside to run, play, and get some fresh air every day. Unless it is very stormy or extremely cold outside, we have recess. Please be sure your child has appropriate clothing and/or layers to wear.
