8th Grade News: August 27-30, 2019


General News
Open House in our NEW BUILDING!
The moment has finally arrived! There will be an Open House on Monday 8/26 from 5:00-7:00pm for students and families to come see the new building and share our excitement. We want that excitement to spread throughout the community! Faculty and staff will be working hard this weekend to move into this amazing new building and we can't wait to have students begin attending on Tuesday. (Remember, there is no school for students on Monday 8/26.)

21st Century After School Program
21st Century Classes will begin on Tuesday, September 3rd. A parent or guardian must attend an Orientation prior to the student attending classes. The Orientation will take place on Monday, August 26th at the new Hilsman immediately after Open House concludes (around 8:00pm in the cafeteria).

Students must complete an application and enroll in order to attend classes. Students can be picked up by parents or ride one of the 21st Century buses. 21st Century applications are in the office or with Mrs. Dalton and Ms. Hughes.

Cross Country season is officially underway! Click here for the official schedule as well as info on practices and meets. Please contact Ms. Seymour (seymoure@clarke.k12.ga.us) for more information.

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.
