Christmas Party - We have a wonderful group of parents planning, preparing, and leading a Christmas party for our class on Friday. This party will include games, crafts, and snacks. I will have a gift for each student, and we will be gifting each other with Compliment Presents. No need to purchase an additional gift for a gift exchange - our kind words to each other are an invaluable gift!
Music Note from Mrs. Boer - Next week (December 12-14), we will be holding a Musical Show & Tell in music class. This means that your child can play a song on an instrument they bring to school or bring something to class that makes music (i.e. music box, stuffed animal, book, etc.). If your child takes piano lessons they may play the piano in the room. We will celebrate the Messiah with joyful sounds!
Shoes for PE: As we enter the winter months and many of your kids are wearing boots to school, please remember to have tennis shoes in their locker or backpack for their PE days!
Maroon and White Shop at Rose Park: Save the dates for December 13 + 14 - The Maroon and White Shop will be present Wednesday (at pick-up), and Thursday morning. If you desire to grab any HC gear for presents this year, make a note to stop by!
Hearing and Vision Screenings - coming in January!
Hearing screening January 11 for grades K, 2, and 4
Vision screening January 12 for grades 1, 3, and 5
Parents can opt out if desired, but you need to submit the following in writing: name of student, date of screening, which screening opting out of, and parent signature.
*Children with shunts or medically implanted devices cannot do the hearing screening.
Tech Devices at School: As we’re entering gift-giving season, we’ve been noticing a few children showing off smart watches and devices that have connectivity outside of school. Your child’s safety and mental wellness is our priority. To that end, children are not permitted to bring devices that have connectivity outside of school. This policy is meant for your child’s well-being as well as that of classmates Thank you for your mindfulness and partnership! Please note this policy that holds preschool through 12th grade at Holland Christian:
Personal Technology: Personal Technology is not necessary in a school setting and disrupts the learning environment. Personal Technology includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Cell Phones
Smartwatches
Headphones or Earbuds
Personal Laptops
MP3-Players
Etc. (i.e. Any non-school issued personal technology)
If parents need to communicate with their student, they can send their student an email or call the office and get a note from the office. Personal Technology items are not allowed to be used or visible during the time a student enters school until the final bell rings. If a student needs to use their phone, they must receive direct permission from a staff person to do so.
