Hello Holland Elementary Families,
Just because it's June doesn't mean that the children aren't working hard at school. There was a lot going on at school this week, as the staff and I continue to maintain routines and hold high expectations for the children. Until the final day of school on June 20th, the students will continue to work hard as there still many tasks to complete and concepts still to learn. I encourage parents to remind their children to stay focused, work hard, and finish the school year strong!
The highlight for this week was our First Grade Goin' Buggy Show. The students created some wonderful projects and then dazzled their families with an awesome performance. Kudos to these students, the first grade team, and parents who help with projects and costumes!
Below you'll find information that is important for parents for the end of the school year, this summer, and next year. In addition, please keep an eye out for supply lists for each grade level for next year - coming soon!

Lost and Found Bin
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 few 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.
Outstanding Balances
Please note that all outstanding balances for the cafeteria and library must be paid prior to the end of the school year. Please contact Mrs. Blumenthal (sblumenthal@crsd.org) with questions regarding library obligations and you can direct questions regarding cafeteria obligations to HESCafeteria@crsd.org.
End of the Year Parties
End of the year parties will be held in the classrooms on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 19th, unless otherwise indicated by your classroom teacher. Homeroom Parents will be in contact with classroom families for food and other party donations. If food is to be brought to school, it is important that it arrive pre-packaged with the food’s ingredients clearly labeled (per district pupil services department). Please contact your Homeroom Parents directly with questions. The office staff would not be able to answer specific questions that you may have regarding your child’s party.
