Hilmar High School Happenings

As we approach the end of the semester, regular, daily attendance is more important than ever! Every day in class provides students with valuable instruction, opportunities to ask questions, complete assignments, and prepare for final exams. Missing class can mean missing important review, instruction, and support that can directly impact final grades. Remember, semester grades become part of a student's official transcript and play an important role in graduation progress, college applications, and future opportunities. Encourage your student to be in school, on time, and ready to learn each day. We are getting close to the finish line, Yellowjackets! Let's make these final weeks count and finish the semester strong!

We are at our final progress report period before the end of the semester! Parents, take a few minutes to check your child's grades and missing assignments in Aeries. If you haven't downloaded the Aeries app, now is a great time! You can also ask your child to log in and walk you through their grades and current assignments. This is a great opportunity to check in, talk about progress, and encourage your child to connect with teachers if they need support. Be sure to ask which Jacket Time sessions they have signed up for, too! Jacket Time is an opportunity for students to make up missing work, get extra help, and prepare for upcoming assignments and assessments. Let's finish the semester strong, Yellowjackets!

Thank you to all our students and families for making daily attendance a priority this semester! From August 13 through November 12, Hilmar High School’s overall Average Daily Attendance (ADA) stands at 95.14%. We are very close to our schoolwide goal of 96%, and with a strong push heading into the rest of the semester, we know we can get there together! 

Here is a look at where each class currently stands: 

On average, about 35 students are absent each day—just a handful of students showing up each day will push our entire school over that 96% mark. Every day in class counts toward academic success, connection with peers, and staying on track for graduation. 

Let’s keep up the momentum, Yellowjackets! Show up, stay engaged, and help your class take the top spot on our way to 96%.
