Quote of the Week:
Good afternoon!
Tomorrow is the big day! We will be returning to school after a much-needed break. I hope that you were able to enjoy your family and had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. Admittedly, this was the first break where I actually rested and enjoyed time with my daughters! Now it is time to get back to the business of teaching, and learning.
Parents, we have a little less than four weeks before the close of the quarter. We need your help ensuring that your scholar(s) are held responsible for their learning. If they are signed up for 21st Century or PSP, please be sure to have them attend on the designated days. I encourage you to check Parent Portal for updates on grades by Friday of this week. If your child is missing any assignments for the second quarter, please contact the teacher in an effort to help your child(ren) successfully complete the course. We want all of our students to experience being academically successful at HMS.
Every third Monday of the month is College and Career Readiness Awareness Day. Although we are seeing a slight increase in the number of students that are wearing their college gear, it is our desire to have 100% of our students wearing college shirts. Moreso, we want every child to be aware of their options following high school. If you have shirts that you would like to donate to the school, please contact Ms.Barnett in the front office.
The honor's dinner is still on! A member of my team wanted to create a more stylish invitation. Students will be presented with their invitations tomorrow morning. We are looking forward to a great time.
Please read the announcements below carefully. I will see everyone tomorrow!
Principal Tolbert

Tardies/Absences
School begins promptly at 8:25. Our overall attendance average is hovering in the low-'90s. It is our goal to be 98% or above! We want all of our students to be present at school and on time. In the words of Mr. Dwight Manzy, when you miss school, you miss out! If your child must be absent from school, please send in an excuse ASAP.
Uniform Rule Update: Reminder as the weather changes
Although the CCSD Student Code of Conduct does not define the dress code for schools, it does inform parents to defer to the school's dress code rule. I have attached our Dress Code rule in an effort to provide more clarity related to the articles of clothing that are not permissible at HMS. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at tolbertu@clarke.k12.ga.us.
Below you will find the dress code specific to HMS.
Amended Uniform Information 2018-2019
Rain Plan:
The district has used our current building for schools under construction many times, however, this is the first time that the building has been used with middle school students. The building is not as conducive to transitions that middle school students need to make thus it does pose some challenges and we continually are working to improve on these challenges.
The rain poses additional issues when we need to transition students from learning cottages to the building. The Hilsman staff worked collaboratively to developed a rain plan for our students, due to the fact students must transition outside, which as you may know can cause issues with student safety. Please note that the rain plan impacts all students at Hilsman. The rain plan consists of our teachers transitioning to designated classrooms to conduct their classes. Our students are not losing any instructional time.
I have communicated with staff that if we need to revisit the plan that was developed, I am more than happy to do so to accommodate my staff and students. We are working with the office of facilities about overhang structures to assist us with this issue. If you have any questions or concerns related to this plan, please feel free to contact Principal Tolbert at 706-548-7281.
