Dear Holliman Families,

I would like to formally announce that Ms. Ann Palumbo has accepted the position of our new secretary! Miss Ann is coming to us as a former daycare owner and member of the Holliman school community as her children attended Holliman many years ago! As Miss Ann settles in, we will be streamlining some office procedures. Here are some tips when trying to contact the main office. The main office phone number is 401-734-3170.

• To report an absence, press 1.
• To reach the main office for a routine question or concern, press 2.
• To reach the principal, press 3.

When arriving at Holliman during the school day, there is a sign on the door with instructions to follow in the event that Miss Ann is away from her desk. If no one answers the buzzer after two tries, please text 401-871-4145, state your name and the reason for your visit and someone will assist you.

If you are looking to speak to me without a previously arranged meeting, please send an email to kimberly.cabana@warwickschools.org or leave me a voice mail or text at 401-871-4145.

Thank you to all of the families who have already extended a warm welcome to Miss Ann!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Cabana, Principal

The Rhode Island Department of Education is currently administering its annual SurveyWorks Family Survey, which is an opportunity for family members to provide feedback about our school community and our children’s opportunities to learn.

The survey results are most useful when all families participate! Our goal is to get to 100% participation this year!

Your views on matters like the safety of your child at school, the way students are taught, the condition of the school, and how connected you feel to this school are important. By taking this short survey, you can help our school leadership and school community to make improvements. Responses are anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual; no one can tie your responses back to you.

You can take the short survey online between January 17 and March 31. To take the survey, visit: bit.ly/ridefamily. Choose your school from the dropdown list.

Below is an invitation to an in person meeting to learn more about Survey Works. A virtual option will also be offered immediately following the PTA meeting!

Thank you to Mastery Martial Arts for helping us raise $900 for our school! All money from this after school program was donated back to Holliman! Between the two sessions we had 36 students participate. We hope they all had a blast and learned some valuable lessons!

Thank you,
