Happy New School Year!
Welcome to the 2019-2020 school-year! It is amazing how fast the time goes when you are having fun! I know many of you celebrated life transitions (weddings, the birth of a child, moving, etc.) and hopefully you were able to spend much needed time recharging for the year ahead. I am excited about the new year and the possibilities it brings for our students and staff. I know that it is going to be the BEST YEAR YET at Holly Academy! I consider myself lucky to work with each of you to serve our amazing students! Scroll through the newsletter to learn about beginning of the year happenings and updates at school.

Fueling Parent Excellence Conference
There are many reasons why Holly Academy is the top academic performer in the area. One of these reasons is our high level of parent support and involvement! The best way you can support your child in his/her academics is to attend our Seventh Annual Fueling Parent Excellence Conference on September 16th.
Dismissal Process
Your child’s safety is of utmost importance to our staff. Please refrain from having parent/teacher conferences during the dismissal process. Even the smallest question to a teacher takes his/her attention off the safety of the children. Teachers are not permitted to engage in these conversations until the dismissal process is completed. Thank you for assisting us in keeping our children safe.
The middle schoolers and fifth grade will dismiss from the auditorium. If you would like to pick your child up from the middle school building, please make sure you sign them out at the office before 3:05p.m. **PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR CELL PHONE DURING DROP OFF AND DISMISSAL**
Remember when signing out your child/ren before 3:15p.m.
they will be marked tardy. Thank you.
