Happy Sunday Panther Nation!
Monday is quickly approaching and I am sure that your scholars are so ready to return to school. We will back on our mission to complete the year strong! Your scholars worked hard last week, did a great job of staying on task, and engaged in their instruction. Please encourage them to continue to do good work. I also ask that you continue to hold them accountable for their behavior. Our discipline data shows a decrease in physical aggression and this is worthy of a celebration. However, we want all of our students to practice being kind and respectful to every adult that they encounter in the building as well as their peers. This helps to maintain a positive school environment where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and important! Remember it takes a village!
I also encourage parents and students to be in constant contact with the teachers. Know where your child stands academically as the end of the year is not far away. Most of our pride is doing well however we do not want to get to the end of the year and realize that our scholars have failed. As educators, we commit to keeping you informed too. Your concerns were heard during conferences about feedback and support for your scholars. We are responding to your requests and concerns. Please make sure that you are reading the grade level blogs. They include information and important dates that pertains directly to that grade level. If you have any questions, please contact any teacher on the grade level or the front office.
Have a great Sunday,
Principal Tolbert
Announcements
New Registrar
Please help us welcome Ms. Crystal Ross to Hilsman. Ms. Ross is serving as our new Registrar and is eager to get to know all of you! She worked diligently last week getting attendance corrected for many of our students. If you have any questions related to attendance or school records, she is here to serve you!
Elevate K-12 (Online Platform)
Thank you to the parents that reached out to me regarding Elevate K-12. I had the pleasure of meeting with our representative last week to discuss the concerns that were communicated to me. We are planning a meeting on April 8th or the 9th to address your concerns. In the meantime, please know that your child will receive instruction Monday-Thursday of every week and a quiz is given every Friday. Students can access the platform from home to review and study for the weekly quiz. If your child is absent, they will be afforded an opportunity to make up the quiz. It is also important that they arrive to class with a notebook to capture daily notes.
Snacks
Parents, please encourage your child to not eat or buy snacks from their peers. With the drastic increase in snacks being laced with THC, it is extremely important that we ensure that our students are safe from any pranks or illegal activity. We have not had any incidents of this nature to affect our school community. However, we want to make sure our students are aware of the possible danger they may face from what appears to be safe snacks.
Smile, it is Picture Day At Hilsman
Spring Picture Day at Hilsman is on Wednesday, April 3rd. Flyers were given out by homeroom teachers last week for students to take home. Spring pictures are prepay only.
