Dear Holliman Families,

Welcome back from winter break! I am so excited for tomorrow. Our amazing PTA is sponsoring Mad Science assemblies for all K-5 students!

On Wednesday, February 28th, we will welcome several new Kindergarten and first grade students and their families to our Holliman school community! In addition, we will be welcoming two new teachers, Ms. Mollock and Ms. Paliotte along with four new teacher assistants. I have no doubt that our students will make their new peers feel welcomed!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Cabana

Please know that our doors are always open, and we welcome your feedback, ideas, and involvement in our school community. Don't hesitate to reach out to our staff or myself if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you'd like to share. My direct line, which receives phone calls and text messages is 401-871-4145.

We have seen an uptick in late arrivals and early dismissals. The main office is a very busy place and our secretary, Miss Ann does an incredible job keeping it running smoothly. Frequent and steady late arrivals make it difficult for us to get the lunch counts in to the kitchen staff and to get the day off and running. Additionally, the frequent and continuous early dismissals are a major disruption in your child's school day. Classrooms, especially K-2, begin getting students ready for dismissal around 3pm. Please try to avoid an early dismissal after 2:45. If you have a true emergency and need your child dismissed between 2:45 and 3:00, please call the main office directly prior to arriving at school. We completely understand that emergencies happen. We also understand that it's almost impossible to make a doctor's appointment after school hours (believe me I know)! We are just asking that you consider whether an early dismissal for your child is absolutely necessary.

It's that time of year again! The 2024 SurveyWorks family survey is now open. Please take a few minutes to complete this important survey. This information helps our School Improvement Team create action steps to continue to improve teaching, learning, climate and culture at Holliman!

Just click the button below this message. I thank you for providing us with your honest feedback on our areas of strengths and where we might need to improve.

If we reach a 60% response rate by Thursday, February 29th, we will pick a teacher's name out of a hat and every student from that class will receive a .50 school store coupon!

Flyers are arriving weekly for festive family events. Check out the web page link for the latest flyers for community family events and other informative flyers.

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!

All school events and important dates are captured on our holliman.warwickschools.org website. Please check this website often for updates! It is a great resource and it is updated in real time!

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 and Skilled Communicators.

For the next several weeks, students will be working on what it means to be a Healthy and Balanced Learner.

Our 5th grade parent planning committee has submitted an application for a "Holliman Hornets of Liberty" themed float for the Gaspee Days Parent on June 8th. I am happy to announce that our submission has been accepted by the parade officials! Details will be forthcoming as the parade date nears!

Congratulations to Golden Ticket winner, Ziyon Munnerlyn!
