Holmes Parents and Guardians,

As the end of the school year approaches, I want to thank our students and families who have continued to maintain focus and dedication to ensuring these last few months remain as successful as possible for our entire school community. Please keep that focus and dedication going strong, the next few weeks will be sure to go by very fast. 

Now, the reminders:

1. Spring Universal Screener will occur in two core class periods during the week of May 10-14 (specific schedule is set by the grade level and core teachers)
2. The Celebration Picnic sponsored by PTA will be Wednesday, May 19 from 11:00 - 1:00
3. Library books that are still checked-out should begin to be returned at any time, and before the last day of school, May 26th, to prevent fines from accruing
4. Text books and Chromebook and charger check-in will occur:
1. 8th grade, May 24th
2. 6th and 7th grade, May 25th 
3. Students who are attending Holmes via full remote learning, May 26th or May 27th.
4. Please inspect your student's Chromebook and charger for damages and full operation. If something is broken or not operating, make the Media Center aware ASAP. 
5. Additional dates and events for our 8th grade class will be communicated by the 8th grade teachers

Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

Holmes Parents and Guardians,

Please join me for another Parent Coffee on 4/28/21 from 7:30am-8:30am at Kairos Coffee House located at 505 Popes Bluff Trail.

Parent coffee is an informal way for parents and guardians to engage with your school's principal. We do not have an agenda, we create a responsive feedback loop, and we build relationships one conversation at a time.

If you also received the COVID Close Contact Letter, it means your student is a close contact, and should quarantine as stated in that COVID Close Contact Letter.

Attention Parents and Guardians,

Please see the attached information for updated CMAS plans at Holmes. This information is different from the 3/19/21 CMAS email because the State of Colorado has received a test administration waiver from the U.S. Department of Education.

Holmes Parents and Guardians,

Due to the strains that the pandemic has put on everyone this school year, we have changed our plans to hold the traditional Excellence Picnic at the end of the school year, to an End of Year Celebration. Instead of an earn your way in incentive, it will be an earn your way out celebration. 

Students will earn their way out and unable to participate if any of the following criteria applies:

• Student's accumulated absences exceed 7%
• Student has an in or out of school suspension during fourth quarter
• Student did not actively participate in D11 Spring Universal Screener exam

We will begin tracking these criteria beginning March 15. Please let us know if you have questions.

Anthony Karr, Principal
