Wow! What a whirl wind of a week that we have experienced at Hilsman. I know that I have said it several times before but A HUGE THANK YOU for the phone calls and emails of concern. Our students have remained our main focus and were superior in both situations.
We are approaching our second week of school in December. The students are bursting with excitement as we are about to get out of school for almost three weeks. As expected, there has been an escalation in discipline referrals. Many of them are for repeated minor infractions. Please remind your scholars of the behavior, academic, and uniform expectations. We want all of our family together before we leave for the Holiday Break.
Please come out to the Sip and Talk that will be held on December 8th at 6:00. Our topics of discussion will be discipline and academic data. I believe that many of you will benefit from the discussion. As always, thank you for your continued support of Hilsman.
