Principal's Message
Dear Holliman Families,
As we kick off the 2024-2025 school year in our temporary location at Gorton, I am confident that our school community will continue to enjoy the same exceptional environment we've always had at Holliman. Our teachers and staff have been working diligently to create welcoming learning spaces that will help our students feel right at home.
Entering my fourth year as principal, I am profoundly grateful for the support from our families and the entire school community. By maintaining and strengthening these relationships, I believe we will continue to see growth in student achievement, social and emotional well-being, and overall safety—all of which remain our top priorities.
This time of year can be exciting as students reconnect with friends and return to a familiar routine. However, it may also bring some uncertainty for others. Please reassure your child that our teachers and staff are fully prepared to make the transition from summer to school as smooth and welcoming as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me directly by phone or text at 401-871-4145, or via email at kimberly.cabana@warwickschools.org.
Please visit our website at holliman.warwickschools.org for regular updates. Also, be sure to opt in for text message alerts and push notifications to receive up-to-the-minute information.
Looking forward to a fantastic year together!
Sincerely,
Kimberly Cabana
Principal
What Mrs. Cabana did over her summer vacation!
On July 10th I successfully defended my dissertation and was awarded my Doctorate in Educational Leadership (Ed. D). To celebrate I took a once in a lifetime trip to Hawaii with my daughter and some friends. It was an epic girls' trip!
Holliman @Gorton Morning Arrival
If your child is assigned to a bus, please consider sending them on the bus starting the first day of school. This area tends to get extremely congested. Parking is extremely limited. If you are dropping off your child, there will be many teachers and staff outside to help your child enter the building. Doors that are used for morning arrival and dismissal will be labeled. Siblings will be dismissed with the youngest sibling.
Further details regarding morning arrival will be sent out via email and text by Wednesday afternoon. We are still putting final plans in place.
