Fall book fair - Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who supported our Fall book fair with Literati! If your child ordered a book the expected arrival is 2 weeks; books will be delivered to the classroom. We will keep you posted as updates are provided. If you still have a gift card to use you can still shop through our Literati online store. We are excited to put our earnings to use in our school!
We can't wait to see everyone again at our Spring Scholastic book fair in March!
Dining night out
Join us for our December event at Crumbl Cookies on December 11 from 3-7p!
Holiday Teacher Wishlists
With the holiday season approaching—and in response to family requests—the PTO partnered with teachers to create wish lists to help guide those who’d like to give a meaningful gift. The lists are organized by grade to make it easy to find your child’s teacher.
-
Where to find the lists: You can access each teacher’s wishlist on the shared Google Drive: Teacher Wishlists Folder
-
Participation is optional: Not all teachers chose to participate, so if a teacher doesn’t have a list, please don’t feel pressure — any gesture of thanks is appreciated, big or small.
HES Spirit wear store online
The Hollymead Spirit Wear store is up on the PTO website! Check out it out to view our current inventory and order online.
Make Volunteer Check-in quick and easy
Do you volunteer often? Save time during check-in with the Raptor PassPort Safe app! This convenient app lets you store a QR code from Raptor right on your phone. Simply scan your code at the Raptor Visitor System each time you visit—no need to rescan your ID or take a new picture every time. Just remember to bring your phone with you for each check-in!
