Hillview Site Council Seeking Parent Nominees: The Hillview Site Council, a group consisting of Hillview's Principal, teachers and staff, student representatives, and elected parents, is the body responsible for developing and monitoring the School Site Plan. This plan specifies the goals and metrics that drive the school's major decisions on academics, the school environment, social-emotional well-being, technology, and any other significant areas related to the running of the school. The Site Council is also responsible for creating, implementing and evaluating the annual school survey.

The Hillview Site Council has three open parent positions (out of five regular parent positions) for the two year term from 2015-2016 thru 2017-2018 and one English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) parent position open for this same term.  The council meets approximately once a month after school.  All meetings are open to the public.

Interested candidates should submit their name, a brief description of their background, and reasons for wanting to serve on the council to Andrea Luskin by Sunday, May 31. Site Council nominees will be voted on at the council's last meeting of this year on Monday, June 8. The meeting will take place from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Hillview front office conference room. Candidates must be present at the meeting. All parents of Hillview students, or of incoming Hillview students for the 2015/16 school year, who are in attendance at the meeting are eligible to vote.
