Hilsman Cyber Days
While our school is closed, school will continue from home. We are implementing distance learning across the district, where students will continue school virtually from home, as will our school staff. For full details on how these Cyber Days will work, we hope the following links will be helpful:
Meal Service for CCSD Students
Meals for students will continue during our school closure. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (March 30th-April 1st) will be the same operation that has been running already:
However, beginning this Thursday, April 2nd, services will change to twice a week. For this Thursday, April 2nd:
Meet With Teachers via Zoom!
Our teachers are available to video chat with students via Zoom each day. Each subject has a specific time where they will be available to meet with students:
ELA - 9:00-10:00am
Math - 10:00-11:00am
Science - 11:00am-12:00pm
Social Studies - 12:00-1:00pm
Because our school closure has recently been extended through April 24th, teachers will soon begin introducing new content. When this begins - which will be later this week - it will be extra important for students to attend their Zoom sessions! These are excellent chances for students to ask questions about their work, to review, play games, or simply just catch up. We miss our students dearly and Zoom has proven to be a great way to stay connected!
Panther Support
Every single student has been assigned a Staff Support who will be reaching out to every family every week! Because we are in this together, please do not hesitate to ask for help, share concerns, or simply vent. We are stronger together and we are here to help. We want to support our students and families in any way that we can, so please let us know what you need!
