Principal's Message....

Dear Hollow Hills Families,


Rain, rain go away, come again another day!


Not to sound ungrateful for the rain that was desperately needed but I think we are good now! Looks like we will have another wet week in Golden Bear Country. The rain may impact the scheduled Outdoor Lockdown Drill on Tuesday. If that is the case, we will reschedule for Thursday. Teachers will remind students of our procedures and the possible reschedule of the drill but reminders from home are always nice. While it is important to practice our procedures, we always attempt to do so in a manner to not cause undue stress for our students and families.


As our last week before Spring Break, there are many things happening this week. I have highlighted these things for you below but please scroll down the newsletter for more details on each item.


Highlights for this week:



  • Early Dismissal (1:05pm) : Monday and Tuesday
  • Special Board Discussion Meeting: Regarding Future of 6th Grade: Monday, March 20th
  • Cooks Night Out: Tuesday March 21st at Cronies
  • Golden Bear Awards: Thursday, March 23rd
  • Career Day: Friday, March 24th (Please sign up to participate by March 20th)
  • Yearbook Sales Going on Now - Orders due by April 3rd



It's going to be a busy week in Golden Bear Country! Looking forward to connecting with you at our many events/activities this week!

Attendance Reminders

Lunch Table Gate: Opens at 7:40am for breakfast.

All other Gates: Open at 7:45am.


Our school day at Hollow Hills begins at 8:10am.


The first bell rings at 8:06am for students to line-up. Teachers meet students at their lines and walk them to class for an 8:10am start.


Students who arrive to the classroom after 8:10am are considered tardy.


Students who arrive late to school miss the morning check-in routine and vital instruction from their teacher. This can be disruptive to the class as a whole and cause teachers to have to stop what they are doing to update attendance, lunch count, and repeat instructions.


We do understand that life happens and despite everyone's best effort, sometimes students are late. The occasional late morning happens to everyone. Habitual tardiness is an issue that not only impacts the tardy student, but the entire class. Your efforts to arrive on time are greatly appreciated!

Monday, March 20th - Last Day to Sign Up to Participate in Career Day

We need volunteers that would be willing to come and talk to our Hollow Hills students about their jobs. We will have tables set up on the blacktop, and you would be available to interact with the students that visit your station. In the past, volunteers have brought displays or items that represent their job. Some also like bringing stickers or other swag to give away. The students love that!

Volunteers for this event must meet the volunteer requirements. Career Day will run from about 11:45am to 1:15pm, but plan to arrive at 11am to set up. Lunch will be provided.

Thank you for helping INSPIRE our next generation with a variety of career paths!
