Monday, November 3, 2025, marks Day 45, the end of the first quarter of the school year. At this point, we will be reviewing attendance totals for all students. Families of students who have been absent five or more days will receive a letter, as this represents 10% of the school year and meets the definition of chronic absenteeism at this time of the year. Research shows that early patterns of absence are strong predictors of continued attendance challenges later in the year. Our goal in sharing this information is to partner with families to identify and address any barriers to attendance and to ensure that every student has the opportunity to fully participate and succeed at school.
Below is the contact information for support team members who would be happy to discuss your student's absences with you:
Shannon Carbino, Data Specialist, carbinos@holliston.k12.ma.us
Brenda Maurao, Assistant Principal, mauraob@holliston.k12.ma.us
Fall Into Reading with our annual Elementary Read-a-Thon! This year’s Elementary Read-a-Thon began on Friday, October 17! Look for our flyer with more information and the first bookmark–and remember, winning classes win the Golden Pumpkin Trophy! Last year, kids filled over 2,300 bookmarks equaling over 370,000 minutes of reading and raised over $3,800!
Last week's classroom winners were:
Grade 3 & 3/4 Mont: McGee
Grade 4: Bergeron
Grade 5 : Zancewicz & Diman
Placentino & Miller handed in a combined 398 bookmarks, representing nearly 72 thousand minutes (or over 1,000 hours) of reading in our first week!!
We’ve noticed a recent trend among students making “paper darts” — folded paper creations that sometimes include a sharp point made from a paper clip or flattened staple. These darts can cause injuries and are not allowed at school.
If a student is found with one of these items, administration will be notified and appropriate follow-up will occur. Please take a moment to remind your child that these items should stay at home to help keep everyone safe at school.
