We believe strong partnerships with families, staff, peers, and the broader community are key to our students’ success.

Hillsdale is home to the RISE (Reaching Independence through Structured Education) and TAP (Transitional Academic Program) programs to support students with disabilities. In addition, the Greater Sacramento Boys and Girls Club provides free before and after school programs for Hillsdale students, including recreation, homework support, and enrichment activities focused on literacy, technology, sports, and tutoring.

We warmly welcome and strongly encourage parent involvement. Building a strong, collaborative relationship between school and families helps ensure every student can thrive both in and out of the classroom. Our school also benefits from the generous support of community partners, who contribute through classroom presentations, family science nights, backpack donations, and more. We deeply appreciate this involvement and encourage everyone to take part!
