Agenda Spotlight
Have you seen your student's agenda? If not, ask them to see it! Look at the YELLOW pages. If they are caught doing something awesome or excellent, students receive a stamp that they are able to "cash-in" for equally awesome rewards! Many of our students cashed in their stamps this Friday to Dress Down out of uniform. Students can expect many more opportunities to "Cash-in" their stamps throughout the year!No school - August 23 and 26
Have you seen the new school? Someone called it the Taj Ma"Hil" since it's so big. We can't want to have students begin attending on August 27. Remember there is no school for students on Friday 8/23 and Monday 8/26 so teachers can move. All classes will resume on Tuesday 8/27 at the new Hilsman. Check out some photos of the interior! |
| The hallways are so wide! Lockers are built in. |
 |
| The art classroom is amazing! All of the classrooms have ample space. |
 |
| Cool hallway! There are lots of windows and natural light throughout the school. |

| Cafeteria + Auditorium = "Cafetorium" |
Have a question about your student's schedule?
Hopefully most of our schedule issues were addressed this past week, but if you have questions or concerns, send an email to your student's homeroom teacher (email addresses are below) or call the front office and leave a message. We'll help you as soon as possible! ELT will be during 3rd period for all grade levels this year. However, students will report to homeroom for advisement during this class period until we move to the new building.MAP Testing: Begins Thursday
Students will begin MAP testing on Thursday in ELT (3rd period). They will take a Language assessment, Reading assessment, and Math assessment over 6 days. While that seems like a lot of time, students are only taking the assessment during 3rd period each day and we do not want any student to be rushed. The MAP Growth assessments are used to accurately schedule ELT classes, to help students set academic goals, and to monitor students' progress throughout the year. If you have more questions, please check out this website!12 Common Questions Parents ask about the MAP Growth Assessment
