Congratulations to each of our grade-level bands on an amazing Concert Week! Each night was filled with great music and unforgettable performances.
Thanksgiving Break
Holly Ridge Middle School recognizes the importance of achieving balance and taking time to step away from the demands of school. We also understand the value of spending quality time with family and loved ones.
Students will begin their Thanksgiving Break after school on Tuesday, November 26th, and will return to school on Monday, December 2nd. At HRMS, we deeply believe in the significance of students using this time to disconnect from schoolwork. Taking a break from academic expectations provides a valuable opportunity to relax, recharge, and enjoy quality time with friends and family.
As such, no teacher at HRMS will assign any homework or projects for students over the break, nor will there be any assessments or assignments due on the first day back. Our students have earned this well-deserved break!
Our teachers and staff also deserve this time off. I have no expectations for teachers to respond to emails, grade papers, or engage in any work related to HRMS during the break. Just as with our students, it is essential for our educators to rest and rejuvenate as well.
The front office will be closed starting at 4:00 PM on Tuesday, November 26th and will reopen on Monday, December 2nd.
Lost and Found
This is the last week for students to reclaim any belongings they may have misplaced from the lost and found which is located on tables right outside of the cafeteria. We encourage everyone to check for any lost items before we leave for the Thanksgiving break on Tuesday, November 26th, after which unclaimed items will be donated to a local donation center.
