Program Planning 9th Grade - Student Services Department / 9th to 10th Grade Program Planning (cbsd.org). The curriculum fair, student presentation, and teacher recommendation process is complete! Please make sure to access this resource for all resources and the planning timeline included in the 9th Program Planning 2023 Student Timeline Letter.pdf (cbsd.org).
Program Planning 7th & 8th Grade - We have a lot of terminology in education and "program planning" is the term we use for the course selection process. This has many steps in each grade and we always start with 9th grade but will be sending out communications with our grade level filters to our students and parents in the next few weeks but we have a "home base" for each grade on the student services website. A special thanks to Mrs. Louderback, Mr. Striano, and Ms. Pierangelli for maintaining these pages to ensure that our students & parents have access to everything they need - Student Services Department / Student Services Department (cbsd.org).
School Cancellations & Communication - Following up on the district communication that there are many ways to get information - Information / School Closing/Inclement Weather (cbsd.org) and for those of you that have not signed up for the mobile app - Technology & Innovation / CBSD Mobile App - that you do this as these alerts and our Holicong updates go straight to your phone!
Faces of Holicong - 2022 Holiday Edition (wevideo.com) - Thanks to Mr. Dallas, Chloe, Aidan, Amanda and guest host Mrs. Ritter for sharing the work they are doing at Holicong to support others and how we can all "get in the game" as well!
Power of Positive Students (POPS) - Thank you to Mrs. Madden, Mrs. Louderback and our amazing POPS students for their positive contributions to our local community and last week they stayed after to make cookies for some of our local families! Pictures below!
