It's Sunday Panther Nation! Thank you for another great week of school. Last week we met with all of our students in an effort to officially welcome them back to Hilsman 2.0. During this meeting we communicated to all of our students the expectations for the 2018-2019 school year! We encouraged everyone to be focused, be responsible, be respectful, and to be a leader! If they are able to follow these four pieces of advice then they will have a productive and successful school year. Please help us to hold them accountable by joining us in our move to prepare every child to be college and career ready! It takes a village!
As we all continue to move forward together this year, I want to encourage all parents to become involved with our school! Your presence and help are always welcomed. Being a village means that we must all establish common beliefs and work together to prepare our children for the world! Our first PTO Meeting will be held this week on Thursday in the cafeteria. It will begin at 6:00 pm. Please come out and hear how you can become more involved at Hilsman.
Thanks,
Principal Tolbert
Announcements
Bus Information
Parents,
We are working with transportation to perfect the routes for our bus riders. Thank you for your patience. We are aware of the crowded buses and will have a plan in place this week to help provide a safe ride for our students. Riding the bus is just as important to us as teaching. Students are expected to follow all of the behavior expectations on the bus. This is extremely important as safety is a priority for our drivers and administrators.
Please continue to speak with your child(ren) about their behavior on the bus. Last week we had several incidents that resulted in students losing their privilege to ride the bus. We want all of our students to be present at school!
Start Time
We want to reiterate that our school day begins promptly at 8:25. If your child arrives after 8:25 they are considered tardy. Please get your scholar(s) to school on time. Students are allowed in the building at 7:50 every morning. Thank you in advance for ensuring your child is present at school, every day, on time!
