Principal's Message
Dear Holliman Families,
It has been a VERY good first week of school. Morning arrival has been very smooth and most of all SAFE! A few reminders;
- Please use the drop off loop via Mullen Rd. Students have been doing a great job hopping out of vehicles and we have plenty of staff to assist. Even our brand new Kiindergarteners are quickly getting the hang of it.
- If you must park, please enter the lot via Deborah Rd and take an immediately left and park near the wooded area. You must park, turn off your vehicle and walk your child to the walkway. This is NOT a drop off area as it is unsafe to do so.
- Arrival time with supervision has been moved up to 8:40 am!
If your child rides a bus or van, please be sure to review the WPS Bus Code of Ethics & Bus Expectations. Safety is our number one priority while students ride the bus. Any student who cannot follow bus expectations may have their bus privileges suspended.
I have been visiting classrooms and I can say that all students have been engaged in meaningful lesson and activities. Students have been spending time getting to know each other and their teachers and all classrooms have begun academic and social emotional learning instruction.
As always, I am extremely proud of our Holliman school community and will continue to ensure your child has a safe, fun, and academically sound learning environment.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cabana, Principal
*Please refrain from sending your child to school with "squishy toys" as they pose a potential hazard.
Attendance
Special Message from Nurse Razza
Mandatory eye screening on Oct 6th by the Lions club. If you want to opt out it must be in writing. It is a simple non-invasive spot screen device .
A notice from the West Bay smiles dental was sent home to all students. This is a wonderful service for those who may not have dental coverage or for those that have dental but need the convenience of seeing dental while at school. This cannot be used in addition to regular dental visits but can take the place of a visit if after school appointments are hard to find.
No School Monday, September 7th Labor Day
NO SCHOOL Wednesday, September 9th Primary Day
