The 2024-2025 ESE Parent Survey window is now open! Each year, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) surveys parents of children with an individual education plan (IEP) to determine how well districts and schools are partnering with parents and promoting parent involvement in their child’s education. All states must collect this data for reporting on their State Performance Plan, as required under the Individuals with Disability Education Act (IDEA). Additionally, survey results will be used to help schools and districts improve services and results for children with disabilities. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.-

Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader

Students in grades 3-6 have been working hard toward their Accelerated Reader (AR) goals. This week they surpassed 44 million words read. WOW! Please continue to encourage your child to complete their nightly reading. Once a book is completed, students may take an AR quiz at school. Passing the quiz earns points towards their goal!

K-2 Beanstack Reading Challenge

In February, students who successfully completed the Winter Reading challenge enjoyed a cookie decorating celebration and received a new book as a reward! Throughout the month of March, remember to log your minutes in Beanstack and earn badges in the "Growing Readers" challenge to take part in our next celebration!

Read Across America Week

Read Across America Week is celebrated from March 2 to 6 — it begins on the birthday of the beloved author, Dr. Seuss. The entire month of March, in fact, is dedicated to reading! ❤️📖 We look forward to celebrating the week with a School-Wide D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) time and "caught reading" drawings where students have a chance to earn new books!

Book Blast

Thank you for your amazing participation in the Book Blast event! Every student will receive at least one new book, and many have already received—or will soon receive—participation prizes along with their book deliveries. We’re excited to announce that the Book Blast book packages and prizes are expected to arrive next week, just in time to celebrate Read Across America Week! Thank you again for your enthusiasm and support in making this event such a success!

At-Home Literacy Activities

Read Aloud Together

Take turns reading pages from a favorite book. Parents can read a chapter, and then kids can read the next. You can also pick a fun rhyming book or poetry collection and read it aloud as a family.

Story Walk

Print out pages from a favorite storybook and tape them along a walking path or around the house. As you walk along the path, read the story together at each step.

Author and Illustrator Focus

Dedicate a day to exploring a favorite author or illustrator, like Dr. Seuss or Eric Carle. After reading books by that author, try to replicate the style in a drawing or writing activity.

Read to Pets or Stuffed Animals

If you have pets or stuffed animals, host a reading session where kids "read" to them. It's a fun and stress-free way for children to practice their reading skills.

Many thanks to our community members, special guests, and families for joining us last week as Holland Elementary held its 60th Anniversary Celebration, commemorating 60 amazing years of shaping young minds and building lasting memories! Here's to six decades of excellence in education, community, and growth.

Thank you to all the staff, students, and families who’ve made this milestone possible. The BEST truly is yet to come!

We would like to extend a huge thank you to the wonderful team at Beachside Smiles for visiting our kindergarten classes and bringing along the Tooth Fairy! The children had a fantastic time learning about the importance of dental health in such a fun and engaging way. The Tooth Fairy's visit was a magical touch, making the experience even more memorable!

We truly appreciate the time and effort Beachside Smiles put into making this event so special. Your visit helped our students gain a positive attitude toward oral care that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for making learning about healthy habits so much fun!

Our 2nd graders truly stole the show at this year’s Valentine’s Day music program! The students sang and danced their hearts out, sharing beautiful songs of love with their parents and families. It was a joyous celebration filled with energy, smiles, and plenty of love in the air.

The students worked hard to prepare, and their performance was nothing short of spectacular. The pride and excitement they showed while performing for their families made the event extra special.

A big thank you to our talented music teacher, Mrs. Lee, and all the families who joined us in making this Valentine’s Day one to remember!

School Code #1168288

As we continue on our academic journey this school year, we want to encourage you to partner with us in helping your child reach their full potential. At school, we are working hard to help all students grow, but your support at home is crucial in fostering a positive and productive learning environment.

Here are some simple ways you can help your child reach their academic goals:

1. Set a consistent routine: A regular schedule for homework, reading, and bedtime helps children stay focused and ready to learn each day.
2. Encourage a growth mindset: Remind your child that learning is a journey. Celebrate their efforts, not just the outcomes, and encourage them to keep going even when things get challenging.
3. Communicate with teachers: Stay in touch with your child’s teachers to understand their progress and areas where they might need extra help. Working together ensures we provide the best support.
4. Create a positive learning space: Set up a quiet, distraction-free space for studying and reading. This shows your child that learning is a priority.
5. Celebrate achievements, big and small: Recognizing milestones and academic successes—whether big or small—motivates children to continue their hard work.

The link below will take you to our Parent Resources Flyer that contains links for several FREE academic support sites to include Varsity Tutors, BPS ELA and Math sites, and more!

When we all work together—teachers, parents, and students—we create an environment where everyone can succeed. Thank you for being such an important part of your child’s educational journey!
