Dear Holliman Families,
As we approach the holiday break, my wish is that this joyous time be filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished moments together. May these holidays bring peace, happiness, and an abundance of love into your homes. I am excited to see what 2024 will bring to our already amazing school!
Please know that our doors are always open, and we welcome your feedback, ideas, and involvement in our school community. Don't hesitate to reach out to our staff or myself if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you'd like to share. My direct line, which receives phone calls and text messages is 401-871-4145.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Cabana

Bus/Bus Stop Procedures Reminders
If your child rides a bus, please be sure to review the bus behavior procedure
document and the Bus related section of the Code of Ethics linked below.
Indoor Vs. Outdoor Recess
Students need to expend energy; enjoy the fresh air and soak up some vitamin D during their recess,
as often as possible. Unless it is raining, or there would be a danger of allowing outdoor recess, the
students should go outside for recess if the temperature is 32 degrees or above.
RI STATE POLICY 16-21-36. Outdoor recess
No elementary school or private preschool shall permit recess to be held outdoors when the local
temperature falls below thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit (32oF)/ zero degrees Celsius (0oC).
Attendance
We are so close to our goal of 95%!

Sharing of Food Reminder
Often students like to share their lunch with others. Though this is a very kind gesture, please remind your child to not offer food to other students and/or not to accept food that is not theirs. We have many students with food allergies and want to be sure students are only consuming their lunch from home or school purchased lunch. Thank you!
Free/Reduced Meal Application
*Paper copies of the application will be sent home with your child.
