HOLDEN ELEMENTARY PTA GOLF TOURNAMENT
On June 1, 2019 we will be having our first Holden Elementary School Golf Tournament! This will be a fundraiser for each of the 3 elementary schools. The tournament will be held at The Woods of Westminster Golf Course in Westminster. There will be golf and a dinner after. To start off each school is looking to get 48 golfers or 12 teams of 4. The price will be $125 for golf and dinner.
We will be having our first committee meeting for the Golf Tournament on Tuesday, January 22 at 6:00PM at Davis Hill in the Community room. At this meeting we will be splitting into groups - looking for help in Sponsors and Raffles.
PROJECT AFTER SCHOOL
If your son/ daughter is participating in a Project After School class, remember that they must have a completed Health Form on file. See the link below for the form.
CELL PHONES/ SMART WATCHES
We are seeing an increase in our Davis Hill Students bringing and wearing cell phones and smart watches in school. Subsequently, I wanted to provide a quick note related to expectations for these devices.
Cell phones are expected to stay in a child's backpack during the day and are not to be out at any time without staff member approval. Students who have their phone out without permission will have the phone confiscated. For the first offense, the phone will be returned to the student to take home at the end of the day. Any additional offense will result in the phone needing to be picked up by a parent/ guardian at school. I am requesting that parents remind students that they are not to be using devices to text and/ or audio or video record others at any time.
*A 'Smart Watch' is defined at Davis Hill as a watch capable of texting, getting on the internet, taking video, recording, etc.
**Parents- If you have important information that your child needs during the school day, please call the office and do not text during school hours.
Thank you!
