School Health Services
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.
Academics
English/Language Arts
This week, students will be retaking their Unit 5 Post Assessment and doing an on-demand argumentative essay to show off what they have learned this unit. Students will have ample practice writing and analyzing different constructed responses as well as creating counterclaims for their chosen topic.
Mathematics
This week students will be engaged in the start of Unit 4. This unit is all about probability.
We will be conducting experiments and collecting data throughout the week.
Our experiments may include flipping cups, flipping coins, spinning a spinner, drawing marbles out of a bag, etc. Our presentation that we will use this unit can be found here
Our Macro Lesson Plan can be found here
Accelerated Math
This week students will continue to investigate linear functions in the form of Y= mx+b. They will investigate the strength of bridges as they relate to the structure’s thickness and length. Students will measure slopes of stairs in the building, and will compare linear functions presented in various representations. The study guide for this unit will be distributed on Tuesday.
