Winter Break Has Begun!

Students will begin Winter Break on December 21 and return to school on January 6.  We hope you and your family enjoy the season!

Congratulations Science Fair Winners!

The following students will advance to the CCSD Science Fair Competition on January 11 at Hilsman Middle School:
Nate Dotts, Ryan Xiao, Spencer Waldroup, Lily Hefner, Xavier Stokes, 
Alyssa Weiszer, Ava Jansen, Tonari Addison, & Kamariya Hull

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.
