Hollifield Herald
Weekly News - 2nd Edition
Week of September 9th
Dear HSES Families,
We had a wonderful first week of school. The students were engaged, the teachers were well prepared, and the parents made it through! We held meetings with several grades to discuss policies, expectations and upcoming celebrations. Several students already received positive office referrals for demonstrating Respectful, Responsible and Ready behaviors. Ask your student(s) if they received a ticket last week for following the school-wide expectations. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better first week!
As always, thank you for your support, and enjoy this week's edition of the Hollifield Herald.
Yours in partnership,
HSES Administration
