Change in Academic Calendar – No School on April 8, 2024, for the Eclipse Hilliard City Schools will make a shift in its academic calendar on Monday, April 8, 2024, due to our proximity to the total solar eclipse pathway. Students will not have school, but staff will report for a work day. The April event will mark the first total solar eclipse visible in Ohio since 1806. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of our students and staff, the district has purchased eclipse glasses for every student and staff member. These glasses will be distributed to students before they leave for Spring Break. Superintendent David Stewart stated, “Our area is expected to see a large increase in visitors who want to view the total solar eclipse. This, in combination with concerns about safety as well as many families’ desire to view the eclipse, led us to this decision.” Additionally, please note that there will be no high school sports practices or other extra-curricular activities scheduled that day until after 6 pm and only indoors. All elementary and middle school after school activities will be canceled. We are excited about this rare event and the learning opportunities it presents for… read more →
At the beginning of the nine weeks, the students at the Arrow Program embarked on creating their own passports. Over the course of the quarter, the students will be traveling to different countries in the French-speaking world and completing various activities, tasks, and projects along the way. They will earn a “passport stamp” for each country visited. Today, the students applied their newly acquired knowledge of the French numbers from 0 to 20 by participating in a “trip to Cameroon.” As they completed their task sheets, students roamed around the classroom to learn more about Cameroon. By completing the activity, they earned a stamp on their passport.
