The official Open District Calendar 2025-2026 page is the main place to check school-year dates for Hillside Public Schools. The district website also shows a District Calendar 2026-2027 link when available, so families should always match the correct school year before saving dates.

These schools are Hillside High School, Hillside Innovation Academy, Walter O. Krumbiegel Middle School, Deanna G. Taylor Academy, Hurden Looker Elementary School, Ola Edwards Community School, and Abram P. Morris Early Childhood Development Center.
Use the official school pages for current principals, phone numbers, school events, staff lists, announcements, and campus-level details. The district-level page helps with general navigation, but individual schools are often better for classroom, attendance, event, pickup, and student-specific questions.

Hillside school zone list and address-based school assignment help
The official Open Hillside Public Schools Zone List page explains that families can view the zone list and find the name of the street they live on in the left column, then see the school closest to that address in the right column.
Do not assume school assignment only by driving distance, neighborhood name, or what another family says. Use the official district zone list and registration process before making enrollment or housing decisions.
🧭 Use street name
The district’s zone list is organized so families can match street name with the closest school listed.
🏠 Address matters
School assignment should be checked through official resources using the student’s actual residence.
🧾 Registration still required
Zone lookup does not replace official registration or document approval.
⚠️ Do not guess
Search engines, maps, and word-of-mouth can be wrong for school assignment questions.
Hillside registration, Pre-K enrollment and missing document checks
The official Open Registration Page states that online registrations are not complete until approved by school administration. It also says families should check the email address used for registration, including spam and junk folders, for correspondence from the child’s school.
The registration page notes that the system tells users if documents are missing, but the school will send an email as well. For Hillside Innovation Academy, the page notes that prior acceptance is required to register.
For Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 registration, the district has posted school-year-specific announcements for A.P. Morris Early Childhood Center. Families should use the current registration page and current-year announcement, not an old flyer from a previous school year.
Open the official Registration page
Start from hillsidek12.org so you are not using an old form or unofficial enrollment page.
Complete online registration carefully
The online submission is not final until school administration approves it.
Check email, spam and junk folders
The district says school correspondence may arrive through the email used during registration.
Respond to missing document notices
Missing document notices can delay approval, placement, or school communication.
Hillside transportation contact, bus delay notices and special route questions
The official Open Transportation Page lists the Transportation and Food Service Coordinator with hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., phone 908-352-7664 ext. 9603, fax 908-282-5830, and email Mleonardis@hillsidek12.org.
Transportation information can change during delayed openings, weather events, special education routes, shuttle bus schedules, and receiving-school schedules. A district delayed-opening notice from February 2026 said Hillside shuttle bus routes and Hillside in-district special education routes would operate on a two-hour delay, while buses for Union County Vo-Tech and the Choice School in Kenilworth would run according to their receiving school schedules.
This is why transportation questions should be checked through official district updates, not just old route notes. If a bus issue affects a specific student, contact the district or school using official contact routes.
🚌 Transportation page
Use the official page for transportation coordinator contact details and related district documents.
☎️ Phone extension
Transportation and Food Service Coordinator: 908-352-7664 ext. 9603.

These are the key pages to use when you need official board documents instead of general district news.
