Student Schedules
Thank you for your patience and understanding as some changes have been made to student schedules throughout this past week! We also understand that because of this, some students may have multiple classes listed in Google Classroom, and teachers are now in the process of cleaning that up in order to help clarify things for students. Rather than check Google Classroom for their schedule, students should check Infinite Campus for their most updated, official schedule.

How Can I Stay Updated?
- Check your email. Hilsman will use Campus Messenger to email parents/guardians all school-wide announcements. Follow these directions to sign up:
- Go to bit.ly/ccsdportal1 to learn how to create a parent portal account (Spanish version: bit.ly/ccsdportal1esp)
- Update your Campus Messenger settings with the directions at bit.ly/messengersettings
- Sign up for the Hilsman PTO page for more frequent updates. Search Facebook for "Hilsman Middle School PTO, Athens GA"
- Check Google Classroom for class announcements.
Google Classroom
This will be your child's "home base!" All materials and assignments will be posted to Google Classroom, which is our school-wide platform. Assignments, instructions, calendars, emails, and Zoom links will be posted in each student's Google Classroom account. Students must check Google Classroom every day!
Get Active, Stay Healthy Challenge!
Don't let Zoom fatigue and no middle school fall sports get in the way of feeling your best! The Hilsman Get Active, Stay Healthy Challenge is launching soon! If you are interested in completing daily and weekly self-care challenges to encourage a healthy mind and body throughout the school year, please join our Google Classroom using the code wbxmzyu. For more information, check out these slides!
