General News
Thanks for a great first week!
We would like to thank all of the parents, guardians, families, and community members who helped make this a wonderful first week of school at Hilsman! The first week of school can can be a little hectic as everyone adjusts to new routines, but we are so grateful for our Hilsman family's support and cooperation as we continue to iron out some kinks. It's going to be an awesome year!
Agendas
Every student received an agenda this week. Agendas are used daily in every class and contain pages for students to receive "stamps" from teachers, which students can then use to earn incentives like dress down days, catered lunches, etc. Ask your child to show you their stamps page!
School Supplies Reminder
Students need to make sure they have the following supplies:
- 2" binder or trapper keeper
- School Agenda
- Pencil pouch/pencil case
- At least 2 pencils, 2 colored pens, 2 highlighters
- Dividers
- Notebook paper
- Homework folder
**Depending on the class, a composition notebook may be requested by teachers**
If you have any questions or concerns about school supplies, please email Christina Fassbender (fassbenderc@clarke.k12.ga.us).
Have a question about your student's schedule?
Hopefully most of our scheduling issues were fixed this past week, but if you still have questions or concerns, you can email your student's homeroom teacher (email addresses are below) or call the front office and leave a message. We'll help you as soon as possible and we greatly appreciate your patience during what is always a busy time of year!
ELT will be during 3rd period for all grade levels this year. However, students will report to homeroom for advisement during this class period until we move to the new building.
Volleyball Tryouts
Volleyball tryouts for 7th and 8th graders will be on Tuesday from 4:30-6:00pm. The location will likely be our gym at the previous Hilsman location, but has not been confirmed yet. Students must be academically eligible and have a current physical on file. Please contact our Athletic Director, Mr. Randall Watkins, at @watkinsra@clarke.k12.ga.us for more info.
No School - August 23 & 26
Hilsman students do not have school on Friday 8/23 and Monday 8/26 so teachers can move into our beautiful new school building. All classes will resume on Tuesday 8/27 at the new Hilsman.
Spread the word about this blog!
We realized that last year that many of our parents were not aware of this blog despite our best efforts to promote it all year. If you are talking to a Hilsman parent, be sure they know about this excellent source of information! We'll update it weekly so you know what to expect all year. All grade level blogs have now been added to Hilsman's official website.
