In today’s world, one of the best things we can do for our school and students is to teach, foster, and celebrate kindness. Kindness has been proven to support student achievement, better school climate, and reduce discipline issues.
That’s why our school is participating in the Middle School Kindness Challenge.
By accepting the Challenge, we have become part of a new and growing movement of educators, students, and concerned citizens everywhere who are making kindness commonplace for every student in America.
If you haven't already, please take a moment now to sign up for our school’s Challenge: Kindess Challenge
To meet the Challenge, we need at least 50% of our school’s teachers and specialized instructional support personnel (e.g. counselors and social workers) to participate. Every adult at Hilsman can register for the Kindness Challenge.
We need ALL of you to make our 2018 Kindness Challenge a success! That said, please take a moment to login and select a kindness lesson to include by content in your plans for Tuesday. There are many quality, engaging ideas to choose from. We would love to film your class in action and get some pictures to share out, so let us know if you are willing to invite us to your class and which period.
Please see Forker, Hogan, or Moore if you have questions or need support.

From the IC:
We will take the Reading Inventory as a whole school Monday morning during extended homeroom. Encourage students to do their best as always. In addition, please set your rooms up in a similar fashion to Milestones; we want students to take this seriously to show how much they've progressed this school year. Once testing is complete, we will pick up with the regular schedule.
7th and 8th grades will take the Math Inventory on Tuesday, while 6th grade will take it on Wednesday. Again, we will be in extended homeroom and pick up with the regular schedule once we're done.
