Parent Council - We will have our usual updates this week but the primary focus this week will be Program Planning for our current 9th grade parents. Our Parent Council next month will focus on this process for 7th & 8th grade parents.
2nd Marking Period Academic Consult in Resource - The 2nd marking period is now less than 2 weeks away! Resource teachers this week will finish all the consult meetings with students as they plan to finish out the marking period. We ask students to share their consult plans with their parents!
Winter Arts Festival & Chorus Concert - Thank you to all of the students who shared their artistic abilities - whether in Mrs. Ritter or Mrs. Panitch's art classes, Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Edelen's F & CS classes, or Mr. Glaser's choir classes or select groups. It was an awesome night to celebrate the arts at Holicong and kudos to our students - you are extremely talented!
Girls Basketball - The girls season ended with a tough loss in overtime in the district semifinal. Shout out to them and coach Barno for a great season!
6th Grade Music Concert - We had an awesome day Wednesday as our music groups welcomed our 6th grade elementary feeders to Holicong for the first time. Thanks to our music team and Mr. Gruver for organizing this event!
This month in Resource - We will spend time this month with students focusing on Mindfulness activities and looking ahead to our "consult meetings" where teachers meet with students before the end of the marking period on their academic progress.
This month in I & E - Our 7th & 8th grade students enjoyed a choral concert from the different choral groups & 9th graders watched a video created by seniors about life at CB East and followed up with a program planning Blooket. This Friday students will enjoy Team activities that allow for teambuilding.
Save the Music / Home (cbsd.org) - Please mark your calendars for January 27th & 28th for the 20th annual Save the Music concert hosted at Holicong! We will send out updates on the event and please make sure to get your tickets and support the cause if you can by attending the different fundraising events! This Wednesday please visit Uno's in Doylestown!
Program Planning 9th Grade - Student Services Department / 9th to 10th Grade Program Planning (cbsd.org). The curriculum fair, student presentation, and teacher recommendation process is complete! Please make sure to access this resource for all resources and the planning timeline included in the 9th Program Planning 2023 Student Timeline Letter.pdf (cbsd.org).
Program Planning 7th & 8th Grade - We have a lot of terminology in education and "program planning" is the term we use for the course selection process. This has many steps in each grade and we always start with 9th grade but will be sending out communications with our grade level filters to our students and parents in the next few weeks but we have a "home base" for each grade on the student services website. A special thanks to Mrs. Louderback, Mr. Striano, and Ms. Pierangelli for maintaining these pages to ensure that our students & parents have access to everything they need - Student Services Department / Student Services Department (cbsd.org).
School Cancellations & Communication - Following up on the district communication that there are many ways to get information - Information / School Closing/Inclement Weather (cbsd.org) and for those of you that have not signed up for the mobile app - Technology & Innovation / CBSD Mobile App - that you do this as these alerts and our Holicong updates go straight to your phone!
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).
