General News
Parent Conferences
Hilsman's parent conferences will take place this Wednesday-Friday, October 17th-19th, with Wednesday serving as the late night of conferences. These three days will all be early release - students will be dismissed at 1:30pm in order allow more time for teachers to meet with families. 8th grade teachers will, for the most part, be holding conferences for students in their 5th period classes (this may vary for some students due to some teachers having much larger 5th period classes than others). Something should have been sent home this week by the teacher holding your child's conference, but if not, something should certainly go home on Monday. If you would like to reach out to your child's teacher, the complete 8th grade faculty contact information is listed at the bottom of this blog.
Students have been meeting with their teachers during "advisement" periods to work on setting goals and going over their data in order to prepare for these student-led conferences. Families are such an important link in helping children grow, develop, and improve in their schooling experience, and we welcome this opportunity to meet with you and discuss your child's progress. It is our goal as a school to have 100% participation!
College/Career T-Shirt Day
Our monthly College/Career T-Shirt Day will be this Monday, October 15th. Students are encouraged to wear a t-shirt representing a college (or career) with uniform bottoms. Please make sure the college is visible on the shirt, as solid colors are not permitted. Students who do not wish to participate must wear regular uniforms. Our staff will be decked out with shirts from our colleges and we hope students will join us!
Community Health Night
Community Health Night will take place at Oglethorpe Elementary on Tuesday, October 16th from 6:00-8:00pm. Various community partners will be there to answer questions and provide a variety of health services, including blood pressure checks, blood sugar checks, height/weight, and vision checks, as well as flu shots for the whole family, available at no cost!
