Hawk Highlights
April 9, 2021
Dear Families of the Hollys,
Springtime has finally arrived! We are so excited to enter the last phase of our school year as we continue to focus on rigorous and meaningful teaching and learning, thoughtful activities and joyful student celebrations! We also feel very prepared to support our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students with state testing, Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS). Although this year has been unique, our amazing students are well prepared for this state assessment.
We will begin CMAS testing on Monday, April 26, 2021 through Monday, May 4, 2021.
Fifth Grade English Language Arts CMAS Testing: 4/26/21, 4/27/21, 4/28/21
Fourth Grade Math CMAS Testing: 4/27/21, 4/28/21, 4/29/21
Third Grade English Language Arts CMAS Testing: 4/29/21, 4/30/21, 5/4/21
Make-Up Testing: May 5 – 12, 2021
Non-Contact Day, No School for Students: May 7, 2021
If you choose to opt your child out of CMAS testing for the 2020-2021 school year, please fill out the exemption form located on the State Assessment Exemption tile at my.cherrycreek.org. For 5th Grade, you would only need to opt-out of English Language Arts (ELA) CMAS Testing. For 4th Grade students, you would only need to opt-out of Math CMAS Testing. For 3rd Grade, you would only need to opt-out of English Language Arts (ELA) CMAS Testing.

Please Bring a Water Bottle to School
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, school water fountains are not available, so please make sure your child brings a reusable water bottle to school every day.
From the Clinic
As you prepare for the upcoming school year, immunizations are one of the very important items to add to your checklist. Colorado law requires students who attend a public, private or parochial K-12 school to be vaccinated against many vaccine preventable diseases unless a certificate of exemption is filed. Holly Hills Elementary is currently at 93.4% vaccination rate for the MMR, with 1.64% MMR exempt. For more information, read the letter below or visit cdphe.colorado.gov/schoolrequiredvaccines.
