Principal's corner
Hollinger Families,
In this season of thanks, I would like to express my gratitude to our families for welcoming me as your new principal this school year. I also thank you for communicating and working with our school staff to improve learning for our students. We are hard at work prioritizing and improving the quality of classroom experiences for our students each day. Student learning has to become a greater priority for our school and I am asking everyone to do their part. We know there is much to improve at Hollinger to make our school achieve a level of excellence that I believe we are fully capable of achieving. I have already seen positive changes and improvement towards our goals. We also have much we still need to do. This continues to be a process over time. There is no singular action that will improve all areas requiring support at Hollinger. We must work together on improving our school by taking action in several key areas simultaneously. We have been improving the classroom experience at Hollinger for students by doing the following:
*Increasing communication with students on what is expected of them as students.
*Increasing disciplinary support to reduce interruptions and distractions to learning during the school day.
*Hiring and working with teachers to increase the effectiveness of teaching and learning.
*Working with TUSD facilities to clean up, repair, and maintain existing school buildings, spaces, and equipment.
*Identifying and improving communication and customer service in our front office to better meet the needs of our community.
*Increasing communication and partnering with families.
Please look to get involved with our school and your child's learning by maintaining regular communication with your child's teacher(s), attending school events, and letting us know what you need for your child. I have had many conversations with parents this school year already and I have appreciated the feedback and support you all have given me. I have found Hollinger parents and families to be very supportive. I appreciate you.
Happy Thanksgiving and go Bulldogs! Work Hard, Be Kind, and Live as a CHAMPION!
Your partner in education as a parent/coach/teacher/principal,
