Wildcat Weekly Update-Week of May 5th

Good Evening Wildcat Families,

Thank you to everyone that came out last week to support PTO Skate Night and Movie Night.  

We are now into the last nine weeks of the school year and we are working on reaching our attendance goal of 95%. Remember it is important for all students to be at school and in class by 7:50.   

As the weather gets warmer please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for school.  Shorts, skirts and skorts must be longer than the longest finger of the hand when the hand is extended at the side while standing. Clothing must cover midriffs and chests.  

This week we will honor our amazing E.M. Holt wildcat staff for teacher and staff appreciation week!  Please join us this week in celebrating and honoring them for their dedication to our students.

On Monday bring a hand drawn portrait of your teachers.

On Tuesday bring a flower for your teachers.

Also on Tuesday our  fifth grade students will go on a field trip to visit the middle school.   

On Wednesday bring your teachers a special hand drawn thank you card.

On Thursday bring a sweet treat for your teachers.

On Friday write a  note to your teachers  to let them know how special they are to you.  

Progress reports will come home on Friday afternoon.  

Please continue to monitor your child’s lunch balance and pay off any outstanding balances at https://www.k12paymentcenter.com/

You can fill out the free and reduced lunch form online at https://www.lunchapplication.com/ to see if your child qualifies for a reduced amount. 

The Alamance-Burlington Board of Education has hired the North Carolina School Boards Association (NCSBA) to help facilitate its search for the next superintendent of Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS).  The board is seeking direct input from interested students, parents, other members of the community, and staff to help shape the search process and to assist in defining the characteristics, experience, and skills desired in the next ABSS superintendent.  

Please take a few minutes to complete a brief community survey. All responses are anonymous. See below for links to the survey in English and Spanish. Links to the survey are also available on the homepage of the ABSS website: https://www.abss.k12.nc.us/

The deadline to complete the survey is May 14, 2024.
