General 7th grade information

Monday, August 5 - First Day of School!

We're excited to see all of our students for the first day of school in just a few short days! Students can begin getting breakfast or going to homeroom at 8am, and their first class starts at 8:25am. School ends at 3:45pm. Please bear with us patiently through traffic and any hiccups for the first few days as we smooth out the logistics of dismissal.

No school - August 23 and 26

Hilsman students do not have school on Friday 8/23 and Monday 8/26 so teachers can move into our beautiful new school building. All classes will resume on Tuesday 8/27 at the new Hilsman.

Have a question about your student's schedule?

You can email your student's homeroom teacher (email addresses are below) or call the front office and leave a message. We'll help you as soon as possible! ELT will be during 3rd period for all grade levels this year. However, students will report to homeroom for advisement during this class period until we move to the new building.
