8th Grade News: August 5-9, 2019

8th Graders, we're ready for you!

General News
Monday, August 5 - First Day of School!
We're excited to see all of our students for the first day of school! Students can begin getting breakfast or going to homeroom at 8am, and their first class starts at 8:25am. School ends at 3:45pm. Please bear with us patiently through traffic and any hiccups for the first few days as we smooth out the logistics of dismissal.

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.

Have a question about your student's schedule?
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!

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.

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.

Content News
Beginning next week, you can expect a detailed outline of what students will be doing in each of their core content classes, including upcoming quizzes, tests, projects, due dates, and other important info.

For now, we are taking this first week of school to get to know each other, establish rules and expectations, build a culture of excellence, ultimately beginning our first units in each class towards the end of the week. Please be on the lookout for things to sign for each class - a syllabus, communication letters, etc. These are often the first "assignments" for classes and students can earn incentive points for returning them signed!
