Greetings, Families,
We hope you enjoyed your weekend! This week we are excited to welcome our families to Holly Hall for our AVID Open House. The event will kick off at 5:00 on Wednesday in your child's homeroom. If you have more than one child, no worries- there will be an additional session, as well as an opportunity to visit other classrooms. Be sure to pay our specialists a visit as they will have bonus DoJo points and Heron feathers to give out!
Have some fun with us on Friday for Decade Day!

We are bringing zoom back this year and the information for this meeting is below. There will be additional zoom rooms opened during the meeting for the breakouts and the zoom info for those rooms are in the calendar details. They will be on our webpage right around the meeting start time. I have no idea if this breakout idea will work in zoom, but we’re going to try because it will be great if it does.
