Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be a room parent for the upcoming school year. The room parents are a vital part of the classroom and help the teachers and students in many ways - and we need you!
We still have openings for the following classes. If you are new to Holmes School, here is a perfect opportunity for you to get involved right away!
Soisson - 1 spot
Tate - 1 spot
Novotnik - 1 spot
Schinella - 1 spot
Kinahan - 2 spots
By now you should have received the packet with your child's teacher assignment. Please let us know by noon on Friday, August 28th, if you would like to submit your name as a room parent for any of these classes. In the event that we receive more names than needed for any of these classes, names will be selected by lottery. Please let us know if you have any questions!
