Active parent community
 
 
The Hilldale School Family Association (HFA) is the parent organization for Hilldale School. The Family Association is comprised of all parents of students enrolled at Hilldale. The HFA supports Hilldale by holding regular informational gatherings, which allow for parent dialogue and input, and by raising non-profit money for special school projects and fun events. Events include a Halloween Carnival, winter fundraising dinner, a Talent Show, teacher appreciation events, and Field Day. The Family Association sponsors field trips for all students annually.
 
The function of the HFA is to provide support and enrichment for the students of Hilldale School. All funds are allocated in a manner consistent with this mission. HFA is a non-profit organization (Federal tax ID is 20-2559308). There are no dues, fees, or requirements of service. The HFA is a great way for parents to get involved at whatever level they feel comfortable, and it's an easy way to become a closer part of the school community! 

The organization is run by a president and board members who are volunteers elected in the Spring and who serve for the following school year. This team of parents plans and directs the regular association meetings and the parent committees responsible for individual events, and they assist in the home/school communication link.
