Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

The students have done a great job refocusing on their school work as they prepare for semester exams in two weeks. Next week is our final regularly scheduled five-day week before winter break. During the week of December 16th, we will administer semester exams on Tuesday, December 17th, Wednesday, December 18th, Thursday, December 19th and Friday, December 20th.  Please discuss the upcoming schedule with your students as we approach midterm exams. Click Here

We would also like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Senior Gracyn Starrett, who has been crowned this year’s Hilliard Idol.  Gracyn competed against 70 Hilliard School students who auditioned and performed in the competition.

Additionally, I would like to invite you to our annual Winter Fest, taking place on Tuesday, December 10th, and Wednesday, December 11th, at 7:00 PM in the performing arts center. On Wednesday evening, the Bradley High School Art Department will showcase its winter art show and hold a Ceramics Sale from 6:00 to 8:00 PM in the Bradley Art Hallway. We hope you will join us in supporting the incredible talents of our choir, band, orchestra, and art students as they present this wonderful event.

Have a Great Weekend, and Go Jags.

Key Takeaways from the Five-Year Forecast

Ohio law requires every school district to update its five-year financial forecast twice a year: once by November 30 and again by May 31. These forecasts provide a snapshot of our district’s financial health and help us plan for the future. Click here for an easy-to-understand overview of the key points from our latest update.

Winter Weather Precautions

As the colder temperatures return, we want to ensure the safety and well-being of our students during their commute to school. When colder weather impacts road conditions, there may be transportation delays. Please check your emails or phone messages in the morning for any updates regarding transportation delays. This will help ensure your child is not waiting at the bus stop for an extended period in the cold.

If your child needs winter gear, such as coats, hats, gloves, or scarves, please reach out to your student’s teacher, counselor, or principal. We have donated winter clothing and can provide the necessary gear to ensure your child stays warm and comfortable.

Stay warm and safe!

Bradley Theater Presents….

Last night was opening night for Blithe Spirit!  With plenty of comedic twists, turns, and chaos, it’s a classic you don’t want to miss!  Our cast and crew will bring this story to life in our black box theater which is a small performance space which gets the audience close to the action.

Written by Noël Coward, the play follows Charles Condomine, a novelist, who invites the eccentric medium Madame Arcati to conduct a séance for research purposes. Things take a comical turn when the ghost of Charles’s first wife, Elvira, materializes during the séance and begins to disrupt his current marriage to Ruth.

Three more chances to see this classic comedy!

Issue 39 Thank You

In unofficial results, voters approved the $142 million bond issue and 6.9-mill operating levy proposed by the Hilliard City Schools Board of Education. The successful passage of the levy and bond will allow the district to address immediate and future operational and educational needs.

“We are incredibly grateful to our community for their support,” said Superintendent David Stewart. “This outcome ensures we can move forward with critical investments in our schools, staff, and programs, all of which are essential to ensuring that every student has a learning environment that supports 21st-century instruction.” The approved funding will allow the district to preserve current programming, avoid staffing cuts, and move ahead with Phase 1 of the Master Facilities Plan. This includes a new sixth-grade school, three new elementary buildings, and additional preschool classrooms, as well as improvements to athletic and performing arts spaces, increased safety and security, and playground renovations. Superintendent Stewart added, “We’re excited to continue our mission of ensuring every student is Ready for Tomorrow, and we thank the entire community for their investment in the future of our schools.  Because of this investment, the next several years will be an exciting time for our Hilliard City Schools community.”

In the coming months, the district will communicate its progress relative to these plans on a regular basis with the community.

Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

The Bradley Marching Band finished their competitive season on Saturday with a fantastic performance at the OMEA State Marching Band Finals, held here at Bradley. Their performance resulted in straight Superior ratings from all seven judges, meaning the band received straight Superior ratings the entire season for the first time since 2021.

The building will be closed next Tuesday for staff professional development. Class will resume on Wednesday, November 6th.

Finally, congratulations to all of our fall sports teams and coaches. As we begin to wrap up the fall sports seasons, we would like to thank all of our families and staff for their support of all of our students. Tonight, the football team will be on the road, participating in their first playoff game against Springfield, beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!

ATTENDANCE

As parents and caregivers, we all want to give our children the best possible chance at a happy, healthy, successful future. One way to do that? Get them to school as often as possible! Being here in person helps them develop in so many ways. Plus, they’re able to connect with friends and adults, collaborate and problem-solve, think critically, be creative, and engage in hands-on learning. Showing up matters!

Get Familiar with the Canvas Parent App

Hilliard proudly adopted Canvas as our Learning Management System (LMS) about 10 years ago before many universities (like OSU and BGSU, just to name a couple). Fast forward to 2024 and you’ve likely seen or heard that many K12 institutions, and a myriad of colleges and universities, have also adopted Canvas. We are proud of the work our district has done with our online presence for our students, teachers, and also parents/guardians. While it’s not perfect, the Canvas Parent app has come a long way with how observers can see and better understand the tasks that are assigned to their student(s) as well as feedback being provided to them from their teachers. Canvas continues to work with districts like Hilliard to constantly improve the app experience for all of its users.

Because of our partnership with Instructure (the parent company of Canvas), we have also been able to work closely with their developers of the Parent Canvas app to make it what it is today and we warmly promote the app with our parents. If you don’t have it, we recommend going to the iOS App Store (for Apple users) or Google Play Store (for Android users) to get it and sign in to begin seeing your child’s online school environment and their progress in their Canvas courses.

Bradley Theater Presents….

Our next show, Blithe Spirit, is a classic comedy you won’t want to miss!

Written by Noël Coward, Blithe Spirit follows Charles Condomine, a novelist, who invites the eccentric medium Madame Arcati to conduct a séance for research purposes. Things take a comical turn when the ghost of Charles’s first wife, Elvira, materializes during the séance and begins to disrupt his current marriage to Ruth. There are plenty of humorous twists and turns as Charles, Ruth, and the mischievous Elvira navigate their increasingly chaotic domestic situation.

Thursday 11/14 and Friday 11/15 @ 7pm
Saturday 11/16 @ 2pm and 7pm
