Principal's Note
August 23, 2018

Good morning, Holmes Families!  

We are so excited now that teachers are back, and we are getting ready for students to return for the 1st day of school on Tuesday, August 28th!

I just wanted to send this quick reminder about some important dates on the school calendar for this week and next week (see box below).  I'll follow up tomorrow with a more detailed update about the start of the year.  

A quick note for 8th graders and their parents:

As you prepare to join us on Thursday for the laptop distribution, please be sure to bring your patience along with your excitement to receive a new laptop!  Students will have a few steps to walk through to complete the distribution process, so please plan on being here for at least 30-45 minutes. 

We are looking forward to seeing you throughout the week!  More to come tomorrow.  

Sincerely,

Margaret Barnes

Proud Principal, Holmes MS
