Wildcat Weekly Updates:  Week of October 19th

Good Evening Wildcat Families,

We have just a week left until the end of the nine weeks.  It is critical that all students are on time and present.  

Remember if your child is out that you need to submit an absence note using the link on the school website to upload your note.  All students should be in class by 7:50.  Help us make the car rider line run smoothly in the morning by making sure your child is prepared to unload by being unbuckled, and having their bookbag/lunchbox in hand.  If you need to change your child’s transportation information for the day, please be sure to complete the transportation change form on the school website prior to 2pm.  If you are picking up your child in the car rider line please make sure you have your car rider tag displayed. All students should be picked up by 3:00.  

On Tuesday, October 21st, 4th and 5th grade students will go on the symphony field trip.

On Friday, October 24th, 1st grade students will go on their  field trip to Fogleman Farms.

Friday, October 24th is E.M. Holt Spirit Night at Fogleman Farms.  We hope to see everyone out on Friday evening.   

As a reminder, for parents and visitors coming to have lunch please remember that outside food and drinks are not permitted in the cafeteria.  We encourage all families to complete the free and reduced lunch application.  Even if your child qualified in the past, you must complete the form each year.    You can complete the free and reduced lunch application  online at   https://www.lunchapplication.com/

You can pay your child’s lunch balance  online at https://www.k12paymentcenter.com/

As a reminder, you can find the breakfast and lunch menu at https://abss.nutrislice.com/menu/em-holt-elementary
