Holliman Hornets Family Newsletter

I am pleased to announce that we have reached a 60% SurveyWorks response rate! All families will be entered into a raffle to win a Dave’s gift basket.

As a reminder, the school day will be extended for the next eight weeks, and dismissal will begin at 3:25 PM.

At Holliman, all students will participate in 15 minutes of enrichment, which may include specials such as PE, music, art, and library. Teachers have been encouraged to provide activities that are educationally sound, highly engaging, and fun.

Students will not be using devices during this time, and any outdoor activities will be structured, as this is not intended to be “extra recess.” Some teachers have already shared their enrichment ideas, including nature walks, “wonder walls,” literature circles, and science/STEM activities.

Thank you for your continued support of our teachers and students!

Sincerely,

Dr. Cabana

*April Vacation Monday, April 20th - 24th.

If possible, please bring your child's negative school lunch balance current.

*Even if families don't qualify for free or reduced-price meals, we can help through our community partners at West Bay Community Action using our Meal Assistance Program (MAPs). Funds can be added to a family's account to cover balances owed, as well as to add funding for future meals. They can get that set up by reaching out to West Bay at 401-732-4660 or info@westbaycap.com.

This is a program that supports families that need an extra helping hand with food, personal care items and or winter clothing! If you'd like to receive a backpack, please sign up below. Backpacks will be filled to order (as best we can) on Wednesday afternoon during Food Pantry running hours and sent home on Thursdays! You have the option to sign up for a one time only, as needed, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly backpack! The choice is yours! Save and revisit this form if you are an as needed family or one time family, if you need it again you can fill it out again!

Please remember to call the attendance line whenever your child will be absent from school and to include a reason for the absence—even if it is to spend time with family. Providing a reason helps us better understand our students’ attendance patterns and identify when a child or family may need additional support from our attendance team.

Our goal is not to penalize absences, but to gain a clearer picture of what may be impacting attendance, such as a health concern, family situation, or travel.

If there is ever a barrier to your child arriving at school on time, we encourage you to reach out and let us know how we can help. There is a great deal that happens at the start of the school day, and arriving on time helps students feel settled and ready to learn. That said, we are always happy to welcome students to school—even if they arrive a little late.

Our Kindergarten spots fill up quick! Register your incoming Kindergartener ASAP!
