Principal's Corner
Good Afternoon Holly Elementary Families,
Happy Friday We are hitting our learning stride as we head toward the end of the second trimester on March 12th! We are currently starting to plan for several upcoming events, including Y5/Kindergarten Enrollment (March), end of the year celebrations (June), Field Day (June) and an exciting new Summer Learning Camp Opportunity.
End of Year
We are also planning for our end of the year activities, as usual more details will be communicated as we determine the safest way to accomplish these activities using our protocols and the potential status of the pandemic in June.
Summer Opportunity
Please also watch your email for an important survey regarding an exciting new Summer Learning Camp coming to Holly Area School students. We really appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey so that we can plan accordingly using your feedback!
As we move forward we are here to support and assist you any way we can. I am honored to be a part of your family, as I consider you a part of mine. Stay safe and stay healthy. Have a wonderful evening.
Thanks for reading,
Monica Turner

ATTENDANCE REPORTING
Attendance is very important, now that all students will be either doing remote learning or virtual all students needs to be connecting, engaging and completing assignments daily. We still have to report attendance as if your child was in person. If you are not responding to our calls or inquiries we may have to take further steps to ensure the students are still attending school.
If your student will be absent, even virtually, we need to know. Please call the office, 248-328-3614 to report your absence. All Holly Elementary students, regardless if they are taught by a teacher from a different building, will have attendance recorded at Holly Elementary.
