Principal's Message
Hello Holmgreen Families,
Every day we encounter people who impact us positively in one way or another. Holmgreen is an exceptional campus people who love to serve our students. These inspirational, selfless service individuals work hard and are dedicated to our students and their families. Our families are exceptional too. They are compassionate, caring, and want the best for their child, their family, and the school. Holmgreen understands that we are a diverse and unique campus, along with district support, we are all working towards a greater cause-the child.
January 26, is an early release day. NISD will hold its first teacher planning day. Students will be dismissed by 12:40 with bus pickup. Please make arrangements for someone to be home to receive your child. If you have any questions, contact Holmgreen at (210) 397-5460.
Teacher Planning Days
The NISD board approved the following teacher planning days/student early dismissal: January 26, February 16, March 23, April 20 and May 18. For these days, students' bus schedules will change and students will be released for the day at 12:40 p.m. See Attached NISD Calendar.
COVID-19
With elevated positivity rates of COVID-19 happening around the area, we are taking precautions and continue to sanitize areas, social distance, and wear masks, if possible. Though masks are not mandated it is highly encouraged. If your child is feeling sick, keep them home. If they test positive for COVID or someone in your household is positive, there are options to ensure they do not get behind on school work. Please notify the front office, the student's case manager, or the nurse for further instructions on how to access remote learning.
