Honor America's Veterans!
America Recycles Day - November 15

Special containers will be outside and near the cafeteria to collect these items.
Hilsman Health Center is now open!
The Hilsman Health Center is now officially open! In order for students to be served, they need to have a parent/guardian fill out a consent form and return it to Nurse Caitlyn. Once the form is returned, we can schedule an appointment. If students have their consent form signed (and on file) and we get verbal permission, our nurses can walk students to the Health Center while they're at school if it's for urgent care (fever, asthma visit, etc.). Otherwise, it operates like a regular doctor's office! They currently do not have a phone number (they're working on it!), but appointments can still be made through the Athens Neighborhood Health Center. They are also taking walk-in visits for the time being!
Have any questions? Send Nurse Caitlyn an email at kurishc@clarke.k12.ga.us.
