Community Forum #2
Focusing on the Future
Hallsville’s Board of Education will host the second of three community forums on Monday, November 1 at 6:30 p.m. in the secondary cafeteria. The goal of the community forums is to hear from district leaders and Board of Education members on a potential no tax-rate increase bond for the April 2022 ballot and seek community feedback on identified campus facility needs.
Based on the feedback provided at the first community meeting, identified community needs, and the expected funds available for capital improvements, architectural and engineering firm Klingner & Associates will develop three potential conceptual design options and provide construction cost estimates for participants to review. Information presented and feedback gathered at the community forums will continue to be updated on the district website here: https://www.hallsville.org/our_district/bond_construction.
The board has also set the following date for third community forums:
Wednesday, December 1 at 6:30 p.m. in the secondary cafeteria
Thank you for your support of our schools and our students, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday, November 1.

Be an Upstander!
See Something, Say Something
Students at Hallsville Intermediate School are learning about how to be an Upstander at school, home, and in our community. Their character word of the month is “Courage” and we know it takes a lot of courage to be an Upstander, a person who stands up for those being bullied in a helpful way. Lessons are being taught twice a month in each classroom by Mrs.Campos, Hallsville Intermediate School Counselor. Teachers are also reading books to their class to reinforce these positive upstanding behaviors and actions.
|
|
Students are also sharing ways they can be an upstander and presenting to their class. Vanny in Mrs. Woods’ class drew four ways that she can be an upstander; Be a buddy, Speak Up, Tell an adult or Interrupt. During the months of October and November, Daniel Boone Regional Library has offered a free video and concert titled “No More Bullying” with Tim Collins. Tim portrays different characters who are confronted with bullying, and while watching, kids will gain practical information on how to act as an upstander and prevent bullying in their schools.
