Dear Holliman Families,

As you may know, student attendance can make a significant difference in academic achievement. Holliman's average daily attendance rate is just slightly below 95%. In each weekly newsletter I will be posting our current attendance rate. I would love to see our school community achieve and sustain a 95% attendance rate!

If you should ever have any questions or concerns, I can be reached directly via phone call or text at 401-871-4145. I can be reached via email as well, kimberly.cabana@warwickschools.org.

Please visit our website holliman.warwickschools.org for frequent updates. Also, please be sure to continue to opt in to receiving text messaging alerts and push notifications as this is a great way for families to receive accurate up to the minute updates.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Cabana, Principal

Please send a note to your child's teacher in writing when there is a change in your child's dismissal for that day or if they get picked up early. It would be very helpful. Thank you!

This school year students in all grades will be learning what each element of the Warwick Public Schools Vision of a Graduate means to them. Students in grades K-5 have begun to internalize what it means to be Empathetic Collaborators!

For the next several weeks, students will be working on what it means to be Skilled Communicators.

A huge thank you to our Holliman PTA, The McEnry and Shields familes, and all who helped get our new blacktop painted with "Playworks/Recess Rocks" games!
