Good afternoon parents,
I hope that all of you had an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall weather this weekend. Last Friday, I sent home a letter informing you of an incident that occurred at Hilsman. I am asking that you please speak to your children about the appropriate use of their devices and cyber etiquette. Technology is forever evolving but understanding the risks that are taken when it is used inappropriately will help us to avoid trouble. We will continue to monitor the use of technology with our students through LanSchool. Remember that students are not allowed to cell phones between the hours of 8:30-3:40. Please help us help your scholars by reminding them of the expectations.
Moving on to more exciting news! Thanks to Ms. Smith and her work with FFA, Hilsman is now known nationally. Our very own Zachary VanHessan placed 3rd in the National FFA Agriscience Fair. In addition, Raquel and Serenity got GOLD in the fair! Congratulations to all of our winners! We are some proud panthers!
