Husky Update

School will be closed the week of April 1st-5th for Spring Break! We hope everyone gets to rest and recharge as we head into the final months of the school year.

Our students will be taking the CAASPP test in their English Language Arts and Math classes beginning on April 29th. They will be on a special block schedule for the two weeks of testing. School start time and dismissal time will remain the same. Please be sure that their chromebooks are fully charged and that they get a good night's sleep. A nutritious breakfast will also help their brain power!

The WCUSD Special Education department will be hosting a Family Autism Awareness/Acceptance Carnival on Friday, April 12th at Vine Elementary. We hope the entire WCUSD community will come out and enjoy this wonderful event!

Information for summer programs was sent out through ParentSquare on March 29th. Please use the links in the document to register for summer school. Please be advised that all summer classses will be held on the West Covina High School campus. The Hollencrest campus will be completely closed for renovations this summer.

Hollencrest Middle School will be hosting an Autism Awareness/Acceptance Thrifting Event on Thursday, April 25th in the cafeteria. Come by and support the Special Education Department!

This is a reminder that student cell phones need to be off and in their backpacks during class time. No phones should be kept in pockets or sweaters. Students are allowed to use their cell phones before school, during Nutrition, during Lunch and after school. This policy has cut down classroom distractions significantly and we appreciate all of the parent support that we have received. Students have been more focused in class and ready to learn!

Please remind your students to come to school each day with their agendas and their chromebooks fully charged. This will avoid them having to lose valuable class time to exchange them in the media center. Chromebooks and Agendas are part of their daily materials and they are a vital part of daily classroom activities.

Thank you for your help!

This is a reminder that students are not allowed to have food delivered to the school. All students need to bring their lunch from home or get their lunch from the cafeteria. If a PARENT would like to hand deliver lunch to a student, they must meet them in the office and hand it to them. PARENTS MAY ONLY BRING LUNCH FOR THEIR OWN STUDENT. No lunches will be able to be left in the office for pickup. If any food delivery service, such as UberEats, DoorDash, Postmates, etc., tries to deliver food to the office for students, then it will be refused and Hollencrest will not be responsible for reimbursements. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
