General 7th grade information

Monday 8/26 from 5-7pm: Open House in the NEW BUILDING

Come see the new building and share on our excitement. We want that excitement to spread through the community! We can't wait to have students begin attending on Tuesday. Remember there is no school for students this Monday 8/26.

We need more teachers!

We are so close to being fully staffed, and we hope you can help. We are still hiring a few special education teachers and we need your help to get the word out! 7th grade science and 7th grade social studies studies both need a special education teacher, who would teach and plan with the general education teachers. If you know someone who might be interested in joining the Hilsman family, let them know we need them!

21st Century After School Program

21st Century Classes will begin on Tuesday, September 3. A parent or a guardian must attend an Orientation prior to the student attending classes. The Orientation will take place on Monday, August 26 at the new Hilsman immediately after Open House concludes. (~7:00 pm in the cafeteria).

 Students must complete an application and enroll in order to attend classes. Students can be picked up by parents or ride one of the 21st Century buses. 21st Century applications are in the office or with Mrs. Dalton and Ms. Hughes.
