Communication
There are formal and informal methods of communication throughout the school year to keep every parent fully aware of what is happening with their child/ren, class, division, and school.
-
Parent-Teacher Conferences twice a year (November & February).
-
Report Cards four times a year (Nov., Jan./Feb., April, June)
-
Class Newsletters every week for ELC - 4th Grade, every other week in 5th grade and monthly in Middle School.
-
Sunday Message every Sunday at 10:00 AM for everything you need to know for the upcoming school week.
-
Educators and parents are welcome to send emails at any time with concerns, questions, or suggestions. To speak by phone or in-person, educators and parents should send an initial email to determine a date and time.
-
We encourage parents to address any concerns directly with their child’s teacher first. If additional support is needed, please reach out to the Division Director for assistance. For unresolved matters, the Head of School is available as a final resource. This approach ensures open communication and effective collaboration at every level.

Join the Parent Association
The Hillel Academy Parent Association (PA) fosters parent involvement, volunteerism, and community through service, events, and communication. The PA brings families together through school programs, Teacher Appreciation Week, fundraising events, homeroom parents, family support initiatives, and parent engagement opportunities that strengthen our Hillel community.
All parents and guardians are members and are encouraged to get involved by volunteering at school events, supporting families, planning outings, serving as a class parent, and sharing new ideas. Your time and involvement help build a stronger school community and show our children that education matters.
What is the Time Commitment?
Volunteering looks different for different interests and schedules, from an hour a week to an event once a year, we invite you to get involved in ways that work for you and your family.

Support Hillel Academy
Hillel Academy is proud to serve as a beacon of academic excellence, joyful Judaism, and strong community. We are not just preparing students for college—we are helping to raise the next generation of Jewish leaders, innovators, and advocates who will carry forward our values and stand proudly with Israel and the Jewish people. Hillel Academy’s Annual Fund is our most important fundraising initiative, and we invite all families to take part each year. As a private school committed to both accessibility and excellence, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Hillel education. Like most independent schools, we rely on annual philanthropic support. Every gift, large or small, makes a difference.
