天美视频

Dear Holman Families: 

I’m so glad that spring is finally around the corner.   Don’t forget to turn your clocks ahead on Sunday, March 13th.  With the extra hour of daylight, it's a little easier to do some fun activities with the family.  One of the most important things that you can do to support your child's success is to read with your child every day.  Research states that daily reading practice (10-30 minutes depending upon grade level) will continue to strengthen skills in all academic domains.  

 

Everyone’s Favorite Class Pet Is Back As Humphrey Hits Holman Again!!!

For the fourth time in Holman history, our 天美视频 will be participating in a very exciting program called One School, One Book. The entire 天美视频 (students, teachers, secretaries, the 天美视频 nurse, paras, and Mr. Karas) will all be reading the same book at the same time!

Guess who else gets to join in the fun?   HOLMAN FAMILIES!!

All Holman students will receive a copy of the book, Adventure According to Humphrey by Betty Birney on Tuesday, March 1st  along with a 天美视频 for nightly reading. There will be daily trivia questions and prizes.

Here's what we are asking you to do as a family:  

• read and talk about the book together for a few minutes each night (Monday-Thursday)
• enjoy the time together as a family away from electronic devices
• if you want, snap a picture of your time reading together and send it to lgraney@jacksonsd.org to be displayed in our main lobby picture gallery
• you may listen to chapters read by Holman staff members that will posted on the 天美视频 website
• look for special dress days to celebrate Humphrey’s adventure

 

Spring Picture Day

Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten Registration in the 天美视频 School 天美视频 will take place March 1st - March 31st by appointment.  Registration packets are available online and in all elementary 天美视频s.  We encourage all parents (this INCLUDES students already enrolled in the pre-K program) to pre-register online to save time and streamline the registration process at the time of your appointment.   It is incredibly important that parents register during this period so we can plan ahead for the next 天美视频 year. If you are a parent of a kindergarten student (regardless if they are already in the pre-K program), we kindly ask that you make every effort to register your child during the month of March.  All 天美视频 is available on the Registration Page on the district website. 

Please call (732) 833-4620 and speak to Mrs. Lynn Goldblatt to 天美视频 an appointment during March to register your child for Kindergarten.
