Wow, Wow, Wow! It has been a week thus far. I am thankful that many in the Hilsman Community survived the storm. It was definitely a time of distress for all of us but the bright side is that we are all safe with minimum damage to our homes and lives. I realize that there are many families that are still without power, please contact us at the school or by email if you are in need of any assistance. Thank you to Mrs. Fillingim and other members of our PTO for your continuous communication with the community. It was greatly appreciated.
Tomorrow we are back at school. Although there are many with sad faces, I must admit I missed the students/staff of Hilsman and is looking forward to our return to school. Due to the unexpected time away from school, I am asking that you all remain patient with our staff as we work to make changes to lesson plans and events that were planned for this week. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact any teacher or member of our administrators staff.
Thank you to the parents that participated in last week's Principal's Coffee. The staff that presented did a phenomenal job of providing engaging instruction about Google Classroom. If you missed it, please do not worry, Mr. Hussain agreed to create a short video to help get you Google Classroom ready too! In the mean time, if you have questions, contact any of our staff members.
I hope most of the students had an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather today. It is going to be a great relief for many of them to return to school and see all of their friends. I am sure there is plenty to get caught up on! Please remind them of the uniform, behavior, and academic expectations as they are preparing to return tomorrow. We are all back in business! See you soon.
Ms. Tolbert
Announcements:
Cookie Dough Fundraiser
We are asking every student to sell at least 1 bucket of cookie dough. This fundraiser will support our PBIS, student, and teacher activities. If we all commit to just one bucket, we can raise over 5,000.00! We can do this. A packet was sent home last week with every student. The last day for the fundraiser will be September 27th! There is also an online site. Please consider helping with this initiative. Please click the link below to view the parent letter.

Yearbook and Picture day Information
The cost of yearbooks through 2/28/18 is $22.00. As of 3/1, the cost goes up to either $25. Yearbook order forms were distributed to all teachers in their mailboxes early last week, so all homeroom students should have been provided with the order form with pricing and particulars to take home.
Picture Day is Tuesday, September 19th! Students will need to be dressed in uniform attire. Fall pictures are used for the yearbook and it is our desire to be uniformed. Students will be allowed to be out of uniform for Spring pictures. Lifetouch is our provider this year. If you are in need of an order form, please contact Mrs. Hubbard.
