Welcome Back

Welcome Back to the 2016-2017 school year. I am excited about our return to school and am looking forward to a great year. Due to the overwhelming number of  requests to keep the Panther Pointers, I will continue to provide you with weekly news from Hilsman. I have changed the name to Panther Nation News.

Thank you to all of the parents, students, and community members that helped to make Hilfest a success. It was hot however we had a lot of fun, bonded with each other, as well as established the tone for the upcoming year. Together we will continue to make Hilsman greater. Below you will find the events for the week. 


Reminders for the New School Year


  • Our school hours are from 8:25 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. The building opens for students at 7:45 a.m. We cannot guarantee supervision of students prior to that time, so please do not drop your student off earlier unless they are here for a supervised activity and prior arrangements have been made. 
  • Students are tardy if they arrive after 8:25 and must check in at the front office. Parents should refrain from checking out students between 3:15 – 3:45. Not only is this the most hectic time of day in the front office, but students will miss valuable academic time if checked out early on a regular basis. Please read and acknowledge your receipt of the new attendance policy.
  • Students are expected to wear uniforms Monday through Friday. Our uniform consists of a black, white, or gold polo shirt and khaki pants. No other colors are allowed. It is also important to remember that jackets are to be solid black, white, or gold. Uniform packets are still available, contact the front office. The principal may allow students to dress out of uniform for special occasions to show their participation in school activities. If coaches permit, athletes may wear team jerseys on game days, as long as the khaki pants are still worn. Hilsman logo shirts (i.e. SET team shirts, Pride of the Panther shirts, band shirts, etc.) and individual team shirts will be permitted on Friday ONLY and must be worn with khaki pants. 
  • Seventh grade parents, the school nurse needs a copy of the updated immunization record for your child. It can be brought to school and placed in Nurse Hurley’s mailbox once school begins.
  • All students will be issued a device to take home this year, just like a textbook. All middle school students will have Yogas for use. There is no paperwork to complete and no fees to pay.

Monday-A Day

Please make sure that students return the Code of Student Conduct receipt.


Tuesday-B Day

Devices will be distributed to students. Students should charge their devices every night and charges should be left at home. If a charger is lost, it will only be replaced once. It is imperative to remember to leave the charges at home.

Please review the district's attendance policy and parent/teacher handbook with your child. The forms will need to be signed and returned to the school by Friday.
