Hello, Holly Hawk Parents!

We are so excited for a well-deserved Fall Break! Here are your essential notes for today, Friday, October 10th:

Report Cards go home today! Please take a moment to celebrate your student’s progress and set positive goals for the next quarter.

There is no after-school program today, October 10th. Please arrange for regular dismissal transportation.

Get ready to relax and recharge! Fall Break is scheduled for Monday, October 13th, through Friday, October 17th. School resumes on Monday, October 20th. We look forward to welcoming everyone back, refreshed and ready to learn, on the 20th! That day also kicks off Bus Driver Appreciation Week—a perfect time to thank our dedicated drivers!

Have an excellent, safe, and restful break! Read and log your Beanstack minutes!

Sincerely,
Dr. Abell
