Hello Holland Elementary Parents,
Another awesome week at HES, as the children have been continuing to work really hard and producing excellent work. Students have been taking assessments, creating presentations, writing their Young Author's pieces, and finishing projects.
Along with field trips and so many special activities, it's been quite busy at school. There's still a lot to accomplish before the school year ends, and the children will be encouraged to keep working hard over these next few weeks. The upcoming Memorial Day Weekend will be a nice break for the children, as we make the final push and finish the school year strong!
Reminder - Friday is a Spirit Day at HES
Wear Holland Gear or Blue or White
HES Proud!
IMPORTANT Immunization Requirement Changes for the 2017-18 School Year
Pennsylvania statewide regulations regarding immunizations have changed substantially, particularly in regards to when students must have their immunizations complete in order to attend school. This change impacts all schools in the state, not just those in Council Rock. The letter at the link below explains these changes. Please contact our school nurse with any questions related to these changes. Immunization Letter May 2017.
Announcements
Lockdown Drill
Next Wednesday, May 31st, we will be facilitating another Lockdown Drill at HES to practice our procedures. Just like our fire drills, the staff and I will be mindful of striking a balance between having the children take the activity seriously while not creating any unnecessary anxiety. The drill will take place in the morning, so please be mindful of this in case you plan to visit school on this day. Thanks for your cooperation.
PTO Meeting
There will be a meeting for the Holland PTO next Thursday, June 1st at 7:00 in the school's library. At the meeting, elections will take place for vacant board positions for next year.
Media Festival
The Council Rock Elementary Media Festival will be held on Tuesday, June 6th at Newtown Middle School. There is a participant reception from 6:30-7:00 p.m. The entire community is invited to attend our recognition event beginning at 7:00 p.m. Come see the great work that students and teachers have been doing all year in our elementary schools and help us celebrate these accomplishments!

Medications
Parents of students with medication in the health office, please remember to pick up your child’s medication by the end of the year. Forms will be sent home for your physician to update this medication order for next year.
Lost and Found
The lost and found bin is overflowing! Please be sure to encourage your child to visit the Lost and Found for missing articles of clothing before the end of the year. Additionally, parents may visit our Lost and Found over the next four weeks from 8:00 AM-4:00 PM. For your convenience, we will re-locate the Lost and Found bin to the vestibule at the main entrance of the school. You will not need to SIGN-IN for this process, unless you need to enter the main building.
Items in the Lost and Found will be held until June 30th. Effective July 1, 2017, all items still in the Lost and Found will be donated to charity.
