Holly Springs Elementary
PRINCIPAL'S UPDATE
November 2020
Dear Families,
I hope all of you have stayed safe and hopefully suffered little to no damage throughout the storms this past week. As you know, Holly Springs sent out a message regarding classwork and attendance on Thursday before the district cancelled school. Additionally, there was a district message sent out concerning Friday. There will be no attendance penalties given for Friday. Any work unable to be completed Friday will be made up this week. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to provide high quality education to your students and customer service to you.
Note to Teachers: In regards to Thursday and Friday of this week, please don't worry with attendance on Thursday as all classes were cancelled. If you posted assignments or were able to meet with students, please allow and give your students a timeline for completion. This also applies to Friday due to continued power and internet outages. Thank you for your dedication and patience through the 2020 struggles.
Sincerely,
Principal Trexler
