CCSD Announces K-8 Return to School on November 9th
Here is the latest update from the school district, which was sent to families and posted on their website on Friday, October 16th. For your reference, all documents are posted on the district website under the "Reopening Info" tab.
Thank you for remaining patient with us as we receive more information about how the reopening. We promise we will work to update you with more information as it becomes available to us.
The Hilsman administration will be holding a Virtual Town Hall this Tuesday, October 20th from 4:00-5:00pm in order to try to answer questions from families regarding our School Re-Entry Plan. The Zoom link will be shared soon!
Fall Conferences - Friday, October 30th
Fall conferences will be held on Friday, October 30th, and will be done virtually, either through Zoom or on the phone. During conferences, families will get a chance to (1) learn more information about Hilsman's re-entry plan, (2) see how their student is progressing in their classes so far this year, (3) go over their student's iReady test scores in math and reading, and (4) discuss any other questions or concerns with teachers. Please be expecting some communication from your child's teacher over the next week or two as we begin scheduling conferences!
If you would like to reach out to your child's teacher, the complete 7th grade faculty contact information is listed at the bottom of this blog. Families are such an important link in helping children grow, develop, and improve in their schooling experience, and we welcome this opportunity to meet with you and discuss your child's progress. It is our goal as a school to have 100% participation!
1st Quarter Grading Window Ends Tuesday at Noon!
It's hard to believe that we're already almost done with our first 9 weeks of the school year! The grading window for this first quarter ends this Tuesday, and then teachers will be posting final grades for the quarter - these are the grades that will go on report cards and will count towards students' final grades for the year. It is our sincere hope that all of our students are passing all of their classes and performing to their full academic potential, so we encourage everyone to be checking Infinite Campus frequently and using this weekend + Monday as an opportunity to be checking in with teachers and completing any missing assignments.
Students Interested in Participating in Sports
You MUST have an up-to-date athletic physical completed by a doctor before you can try out for or participate in any athletic activity. You must also maintain academic eligibility, so make sure you're doing your best to keep your first quarter grades above passing!
Here is a blank copy of the 2020-2021 CCSD Physical Form - bring it to your doctor, a Reddy clinic, or make an appointment at the Hilsman Health Center to get this done. Physicals expire after 1 year, so if you had one last year, it may be expired. You can email our Athletic Director, Ms. Seymour, at seymoure@clarke.k12.ga.us if you have any questions about this.
We don't know yet what winter or spring sports will look like, but will get that information out as soon as possible!
Distance Learning Links
All the links that students and families need can be found at this link, which is also on our website. We hope this makes finding information a little easier!
What's happening this week:
Click the links below to check out the plans for each subject! Each teacher in each subject will be covering the same material.
How can I support my student?
You are the most important person in helping your student succeed, and we want you to partner with us so we can help students be as successful as possible.
Help your student establish a routine that includes a consistent bedtime wake up time.
Help them establish a consistent place to work during class with a table/desk.
Help your student find a consistent place for school materials so they always know where their materials are. Help them organize their materials and/or papers for each class.
Headphones will be very helpful if there is more than one student attending class.
Have a technology request?
Our wonderful Mrs. Neace and Mrs. Gonzalez are working on requests as fast as they can! Please submit your requests through this form!
