One of the most stressful aspects of my job is the decision to close or not when inclement weather is approaching. In each and every instance the safety of our families and staff are paramount in my decision to close. I always wait until I have the most up to date information, then I have to make a judgment call. I know that the decision upsets many of you when you have to find child care before school in the morning. I am painfully aware of the situation this causes for you. Please know that this decision is not made lightly - my job is to provide instruction for your Husky each and every day that it is safe. Also, remember that many of our staff members live on back roads and are unable to get out of their neighborhoods when ice accumulates on their roads. I am always interested in your input when we close. If you would like to meet with me regarding my decisions, please stop by the office to chat, or if I'm not available, please make an appointment. I would much rather speak to you than receive an angry email. Thank you for your continued support. Power of the Pack!

The next Coffee & Conversation with administration is on Wednesday, March 4th, at 8:00am in the media center. We are conducting an open forum. Please come with your burning questions and concerns and we will be glad to address them! We hope to see you there.

March is Reading Month kicks off Monday at Holly Academy. During the month of March, we celebrate all things reading! This year's theme is "Reading is My Favorite Sport!" Our activities will be centered around both reading and wellness.

Be sure to check out the large football fields on display in each building. Classrooms are competing against each other to see who reads the most during the month of March. Be sure to check out the calendar of events for the month below! Keep reading, Huskies!

Just a reminder: posters for the March is Reading Month contest are due Monday!

If you have a child that will be ready for Young 5's or Kindergarten in the fall, you need to fill out an application to reserve their spot.
