Quote of the Week:

Happy Sunday and what a weekend it was in the city of Athens! Go Dawgs! Hopefully everyone enjoyed the time away from school and the weekend. Tomorrow is Monday and we are back at it at Hilsman 2.0. 

Congratulations to our Hilsman Middle FFA students for competing at the National FFA Agriscience Fair. Students placed 1st in the state contest in April, moved on to the top 12 in August and winners were announced yesterday in Indianapolis, Indiana. They were coached by the SPECTACULAR Mrs. Rene Martin! Mrs. Martin works hard and gives her all to help our students. A big thank you to Mrs. Martin and the parents that accompanied our team on this trip! It was well worth it! Hilsman Middle School continues to make our community proud!

Emma McElhannon and Ella Barkdoll placed 1st in the NATION with their animal science project on the amount of protein in horse feed! 

Ella Johnson and Tory Ratajczak placed 2nd in the nation in the Social Science category with their project on dog food preference and data on overfeeding and underfeeding dogs in the Athens, GA area.

This week several shifts will happen in our school. Mr. Mosely will join the 8th grade team as a Science teacher, Mrs. Fox will join Mr. Watkins and Ms. Rhorbach in 6th grade Science and Mrs. Skinner will return to teach the high school Science courses. We are also excited to welcome Mr. Brandon Brock (6th grade ELA) and Ms. Lauren Wood (7th grade ELA) to our Panther Pact! Our teams are almost complete!

Lastly, I would like for our Panther Pact to welcome Mr. Fabian Jones to the Panther Nation! Mr. Jones will be joining Mr. Forker and I as an Assistant Principal. Mr. Jones met the students Thursday morning! We are so excited to have him join our team.

Good afternoon Panther Nation!

Wow! What a turn out for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Thank you for coming to support your scholar(s) last week. Our students did a phenomenal job communicating their glows and grows as many of them led their own conference. We still have a few conferences to conduct but I am sure that we are really close to our goal of 100%. If you have not scheduled or attended your child's conference, please contact their homeroom teacher this week.

There were so many students that performed well the first quarter of the year. Congratulations to all of the students that remained in good academic standing and that had perfect attendance. I would also like to shout CONGRATULATIONS to the parents/guardians too! Thank you for getting your scholar(s) to school on time and holding them accountable for their learning! It feels great to know that the village is working together to do what is in the best interest of our students.

This is a reminder that there will be no school this Friday due to our Fall Break! Enjoy your time and cheers to a great week!

Quote of the Week: 



Happy Sunday Panther Nation!

I am looking forward to an awesome week! The weather is beautiful and this week, Wednesday-Friday, we will be visited by many of you as we welcome you in for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Students will be released early from school this Wednesday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. Please make sure that you have transportation arranged for your scholar. There will be no PSP and no 21st Century for October 15-19th. It is our goal to have 100% of our parents participate in their scheduled conferences. If you have not received notification of your time, you will know no later than tomorrow! 

Panther Nation, we are working hard to model appropriate behaviors for our students. As we teach them how to manage their behaviors and remain aware of other's feelings, the staff of HMS have committed to being the example for our students. As a community, we must model and hold each other accountable for setting the tone for our scholars. It is important that we model respect for each other as we are engaging in difficult conversations about students' academic and behavioral progress. I challenge everyone in our community to be their best so that our students will be their BEST! 

As mentioned in my previous communication with parents we have had several changes to occur on our staff. Mr. Mundy, Mr. McCann, Ms. Buffington-Martin, Ms. N. Myers, and Mrs. Blair will not be returning to Hilsman. We are in the process of hiring a new Chorus and Spanish teacher; however, a recommendation to hire for both ELA positions have been made to the BOE. We will host a Parent Information Session in the upcoming two weeks to address any parent concerns. The Administration Team will host conferences for Mr. Mundy's class and we will be in touch with those needed on tomorrow.

Our new building is well on its way up! I know it is too early to speak of moving but we are on scheduled to enter the new HMS as early as mid August! We are keeping our fingers cross that the weather will remain great so that the construction will continue to move! 

Tomorrow is College/Career Day! Please have your child wear their favorite college shirt or dress up for a career of their choice. Our goal is to have 100% participation. Data collected last month revealed that 68% of our school community participated in our College/Career Monday! Let's strive for greater tomorrow!

I look forward to seeing you all this week!

Principal Tolbert

Good Sunday Panther Nation!

Thank you to all of the parents and community members that came out to our school sponsored family events held the last two weeks. There was a lot of fun had and some great information shared with our Panther Nation. A huge shout out to Ms. Barnett and her team for organizing the events!

As we continue moving forward this year, I want to challenge our community to get involved in our school. The community influence is just as important as the work that is being done in the classrooms. Your presence, your example, and your coaching can help make the difference in the life of a child! 

We are continuing to impress the importance of being college and career ready upon all of our students. As a staff we pledge to become more consistent with our practices while holding our students accountable for owning their learning. Please continue to perform binder checks, review grades in Parent Portal, and be in the know about how your child is progressing academically and behaviorally. It takes a village! Our village is growing stronger everyday! 

In partnership with you,

Principal Tolbert

Happy Friday Panther Nation!

Thank you to all of the parents that came out to join us for the Grade Levels' Parent Night! Although we wish we could have had a larger turn out, we appreciate those of you that came out to hear about the great things happening at HMS. If you missed the presentations, they were linked on FB by the grade level teachers. 

We had a fun filled week at Hilsman! Students were observed working hard while teachers were delivering some great instruction! Students also celebrated with Cedar Shoals this week as they prepared for their homecoming today. They did an awesome job! 

Please continue to encourage your scholars to be respectful and kind. The number of fights have decreased the last two weeks of school. Transitions are smoother and students are beginning to take ownership of their behavior and learning. We are teaching to reach every student at Hilsman. 

Progress reports were sent home Thursday. Please take time to review your child's grades. If your child is failing a course please get them signed up for PSP ASAP! If teachers have not already contacted you, they will be in touch with you next week. We are working to put remediation plans in place to ensure that ALL students are meeting standards and passing their courses. Remember it takes a VILLAGE! Tomorrow is Saturday in Athens! Enjoy your weekend and we will welcome everyone back on Monday!

Thanks,

Quote of the Week: 

“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”

—B.B. King

Happy Sunday! Thank you for your continued support of the Panther Nation! Our counselors did a great job this week of providing classroom guidance counseling to all of our students. Students were given resources and strategies to use to help them resolve conflicts without fighting. Please continue to talk to your children about being kind and respectful. More importantly, remind them that fighting is NOT the way to solve problems. We have included some resources for parents below to help guide these conversations with your scholar.

I am sure that many of you pass our old school site daily on your way to Hilsman 2.0! It is coming along well. We are on schedule to return to our new home next year. I have had an opportunity to visit the site and watched them pore the foundation for the 6th grade hall! It was so exciting. It is my hope to have pictures of the new Hilsman Middle School posted in the halls before the end of this month! 

Although we are super excited about our return to the new building, we want to continue making our  current school beautiful. We could use some volunteers to help us make our courtyard colorful and a place that our students could  better enjoy lunch. Plants, picnic tables, and maybe even a few chairs would be great! Please consider helping us out!  We also welcome you to come decorate a bulletin board, read to a student, supervise the cafeteria, or help in the front office! HMS wants YOU to get INVOLVED in our school! Contact Ms. Barnett at 706-548-7281 for more information about ways to volunteer at Hilsman.

As we continue to focus on being better every day, I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to our school community. YOU all rock! Please continue to work with us to educate our youth not just at school but in our communities too! It takes a village and our village is getting stronger and better every day!
