Later this month Hilliard Schools will begin to partner with Safe School Hotline. This is a free and confidential tool for our students to report threats of violence, illegal activity, or any activity they think can harm students or staff in our schools. There is a toll-free number students can call, or number they can text, or a web page where they can report their concerns and talk to a trained mental health counselor.

All students in grades K-12 will be bringing home a brochure in the coming week with more details. We will also be putting the information on all district-issued iPads later this fall.

The Safe School Helpline can be accessed via three methods – By telephone at 1-800-41-VOICE ext. 359 (1-800-418-6423 ext. 359); online at www.safeschoolhelpline.com; or by texting 66746 and typing “TIPS” as the message.

Safety is one of the highest concerns. Student well-being is a major component of keeping all students safe. This hotline is just one more tool our students, parents, and staff can use to help maintain a safe and healthy school experience.

We want to invite you to Dr. Marschhausen’s State of the Schools address on Thursday, October 24, 2019.  The event is sponsored by The Credit Union of Ohio and presented in partnership with The Hilliard Area Chamber of Commerce.  The address will take place at Heritage Golf Club.  From 6:00 pm – 6:30, we will have music provided by our High School Honors Quartet.  There will also be light appetizers and a cash bar.  Dr. Marschhausen’s address will begin at 6:30.

This fall, the district will embark on a Master Facility Plan.  We want to get our community involved from the beginning.  So we are asking you to join us on October 20 at 6 pm at Darby High School.  This night will be an open meeting with a short presentation of current and future trends in education, and small group discussions for you to share your vision of what a Hilliard education should look like in the future.

Beginning this year, College Board has moved the registration for AP exams from the spring to
the fall. In schools in which this has been piloted, they have found that students who commit to
taking the test in the fall have increased their test scores on AP exams overall.
Students and teachers will also have access to digital resources throughout the year that measure
student progress. These resources are available to help students master the content and skills to
be successful in the course and on the exam.

Preferred exam registration is through MyPaymentsPlus. You may also pay via cash or check to
Mrs. Leeka in the Guidance Office.
● The registration window is 9/23/19 – 11/1/19
● Each AP exam is $94. Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch will pay $0, but must still register via MyPaymentsPlus.
● The AP exam calendar can be found here:  https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/exam-calendar

The Ohio High School Athletic Association this week posted an important blog on their web page addressing fan behavior at sporting events. We hope our entire community will take a moment to read this and help create a better environment at our athletic events. There are six simple guidelines we can all follow.
