Dear Holliman Families,

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!

I am so very grateful to be in my third year as principal of this extraordinary school community.

Over the past two school years I have had the opportunity to form strong relationships with our families, students, teachers, staff members and stakeholders. I am looking forward to strengthening those relationships while getting to know our incoming families.

I truly believe that this continuous relationship building will lead to continuous improvements in student achievement, social and emotional well being and increased student safety, all of which are our top priorities.

To help the first few days of school go smoothly, please be sure to let your child's teacher know how they are getting home from school. Simply, leave a note in your child's folder or backpack. You may also include any important information you feel the teacher should know such as food allergies, lunch preference, etc). Kindergarten families have a special google form to complete for the Kindergarten teachers which will capture this information.

For some students, this is a very exciting time filled with seeing old friends and getting back to a routine. For some, it can be a time of uncertainty. Please assure your child that the teachers and staff at Holliman are ready for their arrival and will make the transition from summertime to back to school as smooth as possible.

If you should ever have any questions or concerns, I can be reached directly via phone call or text at 401-871-4145. I can be reached via email as well, kimberly.cabana@warwickschools.org.

Please visit our website holliman.warwickschools.org for frequent updates. Also, please be sure to continue to opt in to receiving text messaging alerts and push notifications as this is a great way for families to receive accurate up to the minute updates.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Cabana, Principal

Our incoming Holliman families were some of the first to see our new 21st Century Learning Space! All families will have the opportunity to tour the new space at open house on September 18th from 6-7:30.

Our librarian Ms. Lombardi, and all of our teachers and staff are excited to start using our new library, better known as our new Innovative 21st Century Learning Space. Members of our School Improvement Team worked hard over the holiday break last school year to help write this grant and bring this plan to fruition!

Below is a general supply list per grade level. Your child will be provided with just about everything they need to start school. Your child's teacher may be sending home a "wish list."

Please be sure your child personal items such as water bottle, lunchbox, backpack, etc are clearly labeled with their first and last name.

Please visit our website regarding the Free/Reduced Meal Application. ALL families are encouraged to complete this form. To read more about the importance of completing an application, please visit our website which is linked below.

*Paper copies of the application will be sent home with your child.

Please email our secretary, Miss Ann, ann.palumbo@warwickschools.org for assistance with a password change. Miss Ann is not able to add or remove information such as phone numbers and addresses.

Though all schedules and classroom assignments are started to post on Aspen, we have been making updates as new students enter and programming adjustments are made. Please check Aspen frequently before the first day of school.

All Holliman students have access to a water bottle filling station! Please send your child to school each day with a water bottle that they can fill if needed.

Please label your child's water bottle (and other personal belongings such as lunch box, backpack, pencil case, etc).
