7th Grade News: September 3-6, 2019
General 7th grade information
Buy a dress down day on Tuesday!
What a great first week!
We had a great first week in our new building. It was exciting to have a space with everything functioning properly and adequate space for students and staff. We're still figuring things out, especially transitions between classes and lunch routines, but we're so glad to be here!
We need 2 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.
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. Contact Mr. Hughes (hughesa@clarke.k12.ga.us) or Mrs. Dalton (daltonm@clarke.k12.ga.us) with any questions or for more information.
Hilsman Sports
Students can buy a dress down day on Tuesday with the stamps they have collected on the yellow pages in their agenda. The price depends on how many discipline signatures they have on their white discipline pages:
0-1 signatures on their white discipline pages = 5 stamps to purchase
2-3 signatures on their white discipline pages = 10 stamps to purchase
4-5 signatures on their white discipline pages = 20 stamps to purchase
Students who have lost their 1st quarter white discipline page cannot purchase anything with the stamps on their yellow pages until next quarter or they buy a new white discipline page (price to be determined, perhaps 50 stamps to purchase). Students who have lost their agenda can purchase a new one for $10 in the main office.
