HHES

Thank you to those who were able to join us this past week for our AVID Open House. If you were unable to attend, information shared at the event should have been posted or sent home. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you did not receive this information.

If you would you like to know more about what your child is learning this school year? Our district has provided many resources for families, including course overviews, that you can access online. Below, you will find links to access these resources:

Elementary school students who are absent from school in excess of 16 days may fail the grade. If advanced to the next grade, such student will be placed rather than promoted. (Regulations for determining grades may be found in the Grading and Reporting Policy IKAE-RA and IKAG-RD.)

The State of Maryland defines chronic absenteeism as missing 10% of school days (equivalent to 2 days a month or more) regardless of reason. This is the equivalent of missing more than 16 school days. Studies show that students who are not chronically absent perform better in all subjects (especially in mathematics) and are more likely to graduate than their peers who are chronically absent.

Parent involvement and collaboration is a crucial part of our educational community at Holly Hall Elementary. Thank you for all that you do to support student success!

Come learn about the House System here at HHES, and create a House craft with your child.

Please join us on October 15th from 8:00 - 8:45 a.m. to discuss ways for you to get involved in the House system at home and school. Be sure to RSVP using this link: RSVP Here!

Please help support our Trunk or Treat by sending in your favorite candy! If you include your child's name and teacher's name, that classroom will earn pirate coins for their class!
