Holly Academy News & Views
February 7, 2020
Recently there has been a significant amount of conversation on "Parents Connect" regarding parking lot protocol and safety. Administration has also had several meetings with parents over the last few weeks concerning specific instances that have occurred that have been deemed as dangerous and/or unsettling. Last week we included our parking lot rules in the newsletter and we are adding a section to our website under "Current Families" that addresses drop off and pick-up rules and etiquette. We are asking that our Husky families take great care when navigating through the parking lot and pick-up and dismissal lanes so that all our Huskies (parents, staff, and students) are always safe. Power of the Pack!
