Quote of the Week: “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
Thomas A. Edison
Happy Sunday!
As always thank you for another great week at Hilsman. Due to the number of announcements and reminders, I will not provide a message. Please read the announcements closely. I hope you all had a great weekend! We are looking forward to an awesome week.

PTO Announcement
PTO has extended the Tumbler Deadline to Thursday, October 26th. We encourage everyone to participate, as this is our primary fundraiser so PTO can support our teachers and students at Hilsman. Sadly, we have less than 20 orders at this time. If you have not received a packet, ask your student to check their backpack, and if you sent one in, please be sure your student turned it in. It can be dropped at the front office in the morning, or sent up from home room. Thanks to everyone who made an order, and thanks for your support! If you would like to make a donation to support Hilsman PTO instead of participating in the Tumbler Fundraiser, PTO would gratefully accept a donation as well (checks made to Hilsman PTO). Questions? email matteebarkdoll@gmail.com
Arrival Time
Please be advised that students should not arrive on campus before 7:45 am. There is no one available to supervise the students and this is a safety concern. A 21st Century staff member will be on the premises to receive 21st Century students at 7:45. We also have a staff member that arrives to supervise other students that are not in the program. It is important to us that we offer assistance to our parents that must drop our scholars off early. However we are respectfully asking that you do not drop them off before 7:45 to avoid any safety concerns.
Visitors
There is a myth that parents' help is not welcomed in middle school! This is NOT true. We welcome all of our parents in to visit, to volunteer, as well as to observe your child's environment. Upon entering the building to volunteer or to observe, you must be sure to sign in and get a visitor's pass. We also ask that you not interrupt the instructional time or interfere with other students. If you would like to speak to a teacher, feel free to contact them via email or by phone to schedule a conference.
Outside Food
We are noticing an increase in outside food being brought to students during the day. Although we encourage you to have lunch with your child, outside food is not allowed in the cafeteria. The day is long and we realize many of our students are in need of snacks to make it through the day. Please be sure that students have their snacks before arriving to school. Otherwise, snacks brought in throughout the day will be given to students after school.
No Flex Zone
This is a reminder that students are NOT allowed to have their phones during the hours of 8:25 am-3:45 pm. If phones are confiscated they can be retrieved on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the hours of 4:00 pm-5:30 pm. Parents, please remind your child about this rule and help us to help them! I would also encourage you to perform a social media check and remind our scholars about the power of their words.
Red Ribbon Week:
WE ARE CELEBRATING RED RIBBON WEEK AT HILSMAN! This is the time each year when schools across the nation plan activities that promote alcohol and drug awareness and prevention. For more information, visit redribbon.org. The theme this year is "Your Future is Key, So Stay Drug Free!"
Here is what we have planned for the week:
Monday-Sock it to drugs and wear crazy socks! All students will receive an advisement lesson related to Red Ribbon Week.
Tuesday-District RED OUT Day. Wear a red shirt in support of Red Ribbon Week. Students must still wear uniform bottoms. Students will also enjoy a RED OUT menu for lunch.
Wednesday-Hilsman is also celebrating National Bullying Prevention Month. Wear an orange shirt in support of Unity Day to show that we are united against bullying. Students must still wear uniform bottoms. For more information, visit pacer.org/bullying.
Thursday-Put a lid on drugs and wear a hat!
In addition, The Healthy Brain Campaign will have a table set up at lunch to provide more information about drugs and making healthy choices. Students can sign the Red Ribbon Week Pledge at lunch and commit to being drug free.
