Parent Teacher Conferences
Hilsman's parent conferences will take place this Wednesday-Friday, March 20-22, with Thursday the 21st serving as the late night of conferences. These three days will all be early release - students will be dismissed at 1:30pm in order allow more time for teachers to meet with families. Something should have been sent home last week by the teacher holding your child's conference, but if not, something will certainly go home on Tuesday when we return from spring break. If you would like to reach out to your child's teacher, the complete 6th 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!
End of Quarter 3
The second nine weeks of school have come to an end, which means teachers will be submitting final grades for Q3 report cards in the coming days. Report cards will be given out during parent teacher conferences. If you have questions or concerns about your child's grades or academic standing, please contact their teacher(s). A full contact list for the 6th grade faculty is listed at the bottom of the blog.

Upcoming Classroom Guidance
As a part of Georgia Law under Senate Bill 401, the Clarke County School District is implementing a classroom lesson titled, My Body, My Boundaries, in grades 6-9 to teach child sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention. Teachers and school counselors facilitating the lesson have been trained to provide this important information to your student. If you would prefer your child not participate in the My Body, My Boundaries Lesson, please sign and return the opt out letter that was sent home by March 22, 2019, and return it to your student’s teacher. 6th Grade students will receive this lesson on March 25, 2019 in their science classrooms.
