Hello Holland Elementary Parents,
Here are a few reminders for next week with our early dismissals, days off, conferences, and report cards:
Early Dismissals
Students will have an early dismissal on Monday, November 20th (PM Kindergarten attends) and Tuesday, November 21st (AM Kindergarten attends). Also, school will be closed for students on Wednesday, November 22nd through Friday, November 24th.
Conferences
Parent-Teacher conferences will take place on Monday, November 20th through Wednesday, November 22nd. The late night for conferences will be on Monday evening, and parents should have received a confirmation regarding individual conference times.
In addition, our gym teacher, Mr. Johnson, will be available on Tuesday, November 21st to watch school-aged children while parents attend their child's conference. This will be from 1:00-4:00 on this day only, as the children can play in the gym during this time. This should eliminate the need for a babysitter or it may allow both parents to attend the conference.
Report Cards
Please note that report cards will not be available for printing in time for parent conferences. The teachers will not be able to print report cards until November 22nd at 4:00 pm when the information becomes available on the Home Access Center (HAC). This means that parents will not have a hard copy of their child’s report card prior to conferences. If there are any questions about report cards after they become available, you can always contact the teacher for a follow-up meeting or discussion.

Mitten Tree
Holland Elementary students and staff are participating in a service project based on the book The Mitten Tree. It is a story about a woman named Sarah who anonymously knitted mittens for the neighborhood children. Sarah would place mittens on a tree and the children would help themselves to a pair.
Kindly help our project by donating new mittens, new gloves, and new hats to keep little hands and heads warm this winter! All donations will be given to children who reside in our own community.
Children can place these items on our “Mitten Tree” that will be located at the front of the school after the Thanksgiving Break. Donations will be accepted until the holiday break. Thank you for your generosity!
