Halloween Contest – We are excited to celebrate the Halloween holiday with our Halloween costume contest! Students are encouraged to dress up and have some fun on this day, but a reminder from our announcements that costumes must be school appropriate. This means that students cannot wear masks that cover up faces and costumes should not include any type of “fake” weapons or other items that are not school appropriate.
Operation Legacy – Please see the daily announcements for how you can give back to our troops by donating your Halloween Candy. We also have other plans in store as we close in on Veteran’s Day. It is not too late to join this new organization headed by Mrs. Curtis as we will continue to work with the Travis Manion Foundation and (and other groups). Please reach out or stop by a meeting to join!
1st Responders Day – Thank you to our students for the celebrations of our local first responders! Please see pictures on the website!
FACES OF HOLICONG – 1st Responders and Mrs. Walter – A special thank you to Mrs. Walter, an educational assistant in Ms. Camburn’s class and one of our local heroes who volunteers her time for one of the local firehouses! Please see the interview here along with some of our other work from Friday!
PARENT COUNCIL – Our Live Parent Council Meeting is now posted on the Parent Council website – Parent Resources / Parent Council 2022-2023 (cbsd.org).
PSSA SCORE REPORTS – On Thursday, October 20, the 2022 PSSA Individual Student Report (ISR) will be sent home in a sealed
envelope with your child. The assessment was administered in grades 6-8 in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and grade 8 in Science during the 2021-22 school year. If your child receives a blank report, that is in an indication that your child did not take the assessment. Additionally, you will not receive a report if your child was not a student in Central Bucks during the 2021-22 school year.
RESOURCE READ – For those of you that don’t remember, The Daily Read was a program that promoted literacy while increasing stamina and fluency…while creating a passion for reading for pleasure! And also…gets us away from our laptop and mobile device screens! We have wanted to bring this back ever since COVID hit and now with our new schedule, we have revamped the logistics slightly. Whereas the The Daily Read occurred every day for as a standalone 20 minute as a “class” with bells, the Resource Read will occur at designated times for 15-20 minutes during Resource. While it will not be a standalone class, the plan is for our students and staff to have this time and still have dedicated to other academic and wellness opportunities during the 47 minute resource class.
TAKE BACK DAY – Thee Take Back Challengins is sponsored bot he BCDAC later this month. New this year, the Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Council invites families to take part in the Bucks Take Back Challenge! Details on this and National Take Back Day (including a list of locations for drop off) may be found at www.cbsd.org/takebackchallenge.
SAFE2SAY & SAP (Student Assistant Program) – Students received an overview of these resources in…resource class. We have posted the links directly to both of these resources on the Holicong homepage on the right side under School Links - Holicong MS / Homepage (cbsd.org).
