Happy Sunday!
OMG the weather was absolutely BEAUTIFUL this weekend. I hope that you enjoyed a little time outside. It was definitely what we all needed after having so much rain. The students definitely needed some sunshine! Read Across America Day was amazing and fun at Hilsman last Friday! Thank you to everyone that pitched in to help make this event a success. We are looking forward to next year.
We are quickly approaching Spring Break and we are all super excited. As with any approaching break, we are expecting for the students to be a bit excited. Please remind them that they have 5 more days to follow the school's expectations. All students should be dressed in uniforms this week. Cell phones are not allowed between the hours of 8:25 am-3:45 pm. This is known as the No Flex Zone! Parents, just a reminder to have a conversation with your child(ren) about respect. We are working to maintain a positive learning environment at Hilsman. The last several weeks our students have shown some difficulty with exhibiting respectful behaviors especially towards adults. Although we are working to teach expectations and issuing consequences, a little nudge from home is always helpful too. If we all work together, we can all share success together! Thank you in advance for your help and we will see you in the morning!
