Back to School 2025 - 2026

We are so excited to welcome our students back to Holly Springs - Motlow Elementary for our first day of school on August 11th! Our school theme for this coming school year is... It's Game Day!

We will work together to sharpen our knowledge, world class skills, determination and perseverance! We want everyday to feel like game day here at HSM... where best efforts are put forward, accomplishing goals is the mentality and working side by side with our teammates is valued.

- You can visit your child's classroom!

- Drop off school supplies for the upcoming school year (encouraged for K5, 1st, 3rd and 5th Grade!

- Order a school shirt ($10) or a yearbook ($25)!

- Get shaved ice from the Kona Ice Truck!

- Get information about joining PTO and how to become a substitute!

We are excited to announce that breakfast and lunch will be free for all students this coming school year! Students can report to the cafeteria from 7:00 - 7:30 in the mornings for a hot breakfast. If you would like your child to eat breakfast at school, please drop them off by 7:30 to ensure that they are able to eat and make it to their classroom by the 7:45 tardy bell.

• The tardy bell rings at 7:45 am.
• If your child is absent from school for any reason, please send a written note explaining why your child was absent. Only 10 parent notes are allowed per school year. Medical excuses are encouraged when possible.
• Please be mindful of late arrivals and early dismissals. If your child is missing the same periods of the school day repeatedly, that will cause him or her to miss key academic periods. We do not want anyone to fall behind. Also, please be mindful that for your child to be counted present for a school day, he or she must be in attendance for 4 or more hours.
• Unless it is an emergency, early dismissals from the office end at 2:00 pm to allow the faculty to make sure that students have a smooth dismissal process.
• If your child will be going home a different way from what had been anticipated, please let the front office know (not your child's teacher) by 1:30 pm to ensure the message is received.

We were blessed to receive over $6,300 to purchase various items for our campus. This was made possible by simply shopping at Ingles.
