Winter Benchmark Testing & February Parent Teacher Conferences
Ready, Set, STEM!!
- If you think your child may be interested in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM), then there is an exciting event that is happening in our community that you will want to take part in. On Saturday, February 10th from noon – 5:00 p.m., Big Hollow has joined with other area school districts to host “Ready, Set….STEM” at Grant Community High School. This event is free to all families and you can come and go as you please. There will be over 70 different STEM activities that kids can participate in as well as live experiment demonstrations. Here is a flyer with more information: STEM event.pdf
Science Spectacular
Please help us! :)
We recently opened a PBIS student store and could use donations of small prizes (see picture) for students to be able to "purchase" with their STARbucks! If you have any small prizes hanging around your home that you would like to donate, we would need the items in quantities of 30 or more so that students can plan out their purchases. You can send in the items to either the Primary or Elementary office. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!
All Big Hollow students are STAR students! Big Hollow students will be expected to show Self Control, Take Responsibility, keep a positive Attitude, and always be Respectful. Many students have earned rewards and positive behavior referrals for being positive role models. If you would like to contribute and help to our PBIS program, please contact us. :)
Some Friendly Reminders :)
Children may be dropped off starting at 8:15 am every morning. Students must exit the vehicle unassisted on the curb side only between the two crosswalks. Please proceed with caution through our drop off area. If you need to enter the office with your child for any reason, please park first and walk your child in. If you arrive after 8:35 am, parents must walk children in to the office and sign them in. These procedures are in place to ensure the safety of all.
PICK UP INFORMATION
Please enter the buildings at 3:15 pm to sign out and pick up your child. If you will be picking your child up every day, please make sure to complete an after school care form and submit it to the office. For occasional pick ups, the office must be notified before 2:15 pm. Elementary - 8477405321/ Primary- 8477405320 Thank you for cooperation.
PARENT VISITORS
