Writing Assessment and Little League
Writing Assessment
January 21, 2009 - 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Writing Assessment
The 8th Grade Writing Assessment is a state mandated standardized test. The Clarke County School District also administers a similar type of writing assessment to sixth and seventh grade students on the same day.
The writing assessments will be given the morning of January 21, 2009 so please make sure students arrive on time that morning.
Little League
Below there is a link to a flyer with information about baseball signups for Athens International Little League. This flyer was supposed to have been sent to homes on the eastside last week; however, because of a mix up at mailing services, the flyers were sent to the westside of town. We hope to still get them mailed, but we weren’t sure if they would get to homes in time for this weekend’s signups. Please look the flyer over and sign your child up during one of the registration times. Note: the flyer mentions that boys will be drafted after tryouts, but girls’ softball is available for middle school aged kids. If you have any questions, you can email me at buz.amason@uscm.org. Thanks.

Dear Parents,
I wanted to take this time to inform you that Mrs. Gwen Settle, one of our 7th grade science teachers, will be out on medical leave until after the New Year. She has left all necessary lesson plans for the substitute teacher who will be in the classroom until she returns.
Please be assured that the students will be receiving the Georgia Performance Curriculum as mandated and our current Instructional Lead Teacher, Mrs. Kim Reynolds-Manglitz who is the former Science Specialist for the Clarke County School District will monitor the classes closely.
In closing, we wish Mrs. Settle a speedy recovery and look forward to her return to Hilsman. As always, thank you for your tremendous support.
Sincerely,
Tony Price, Ed.D
