General News
End of Quarter 1
The first nine weeks of school have come to an end, which means teachers will be submitting final grades for report cards in the coming days, and parents will receive report cards at conferences (more information on conferences below). If you have questions or concerns about your child's grades or academic standing, please contact their teacher(s). A full contact list for the 8th grade faculty is listed at the bottom of the blog.
Parent Conferences
Hilsman's parent conferences will take place Wednesday-Friday, October 17th-19th, with Wednesday serving as the late night of conferences. 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). You should be getting more information this week from your child's teacher about how to schedule your child's conference, so if you do not, please feel free to contact them. 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!
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!
