General News
The Cottage Presentation
The Cottage, Sexual Assault Center & Children's Advocacy Center, will be at Hilsman this Thursday, December 12th to facilitate a Social Media and Relationship Safety presentation to all of our 8th grade students. The presentation will cover hot topics for middle school students, including social media, inappropriate texting, and cyberbullying. This will be done in small groups so that students have opportunities to interact and ask questions. If you prefer your child to not participate in this event, please contact our school counselors, Ms. Moore and Ms. Harrison, by December 11th via email at hilcounselors@clarke.k12.ga.us.
8th Grade Spanish Update
We have decided it would be best for all of our high school Spanish classes to participate in the Elevate K-12 online classes. Two of our classes have already begun this, and the other two classes (formerly Mrs. Smith's Spanish 1 classes) will begin on Friday during their regular Spanish class periods.
On Tuesday, December 10th at 5:00pm, there will be an informational meeting at Hilsman for the new online Spanish classes. There will be a representative from Elevate K-12 present to show what our students will experiences, as well as answer any questions. Parents of students in any high school Spanish class are welcome to attend, especially if they did not have an opportunity to attend the information session before Thanksgiving. If you have questions about the high school Spanish class or the parent meeting, please email Mr. Hussain at hussainn@clarke.k12.ga.us.
