Wildcat Weekly Update-Week of August 25th

We are looking forward to seeing all of our E.M. Holt Wildcats on Monday for the first day of school! 

Check out the new traffic video overview so you know how the traffic will flow. 

Please remember the morning program opens at 6:45 a.m. and dismisses children to their classrooms or breakfast at 7:30 am. Students not enrolled in the before school program may arrive after 7:20a.m. and wait in the pit area.  Please keep the left lane open prior to 7:20 for our morning care families.  

We will begin double lanes of traffic at 7:20.  Our E.M. Holt staff will begin unloading car riders in the car rider line beginning at 7:20.   All students should be in their classroom by 7:50 a.m. 

We encourage all students to utilize the car rider line.  If you are planning to walk your child into school on the first day you will need to come through the car rider line to access the parking lot. You will not be able to access the parking lot from the gravel as it will be blocked due to traffic coming through the parking lot.  Drivers please be mindful of parents and students that are walking through the parking lot.  

Parents in an effort to make our car rider line go smoothly in the mornings, please make sure that your child is ready with their bookbag in hand and ready to exit the car from the passenger side when you pull up to the cone.  For safety reasons, all students should unload from the passenger side.  Please do not go around other cars that are unloading and drive carefully through the parking lot. 

In the afternoons, traffic that enters prior to 2:00 will be asked to remain in the right lane to allow through traffic on the left.  Beginning at 2pm it will be double lanes.  In the afternoons, students will be dismissed at 2:35.   Please be sure that you display your car rider tag and if you need a car rider tag, let our staff know.  ​If for some reason your student does not come out promptly or if you need to buckle your child in, you will pull to the crosswalk area. Please be sure to follow the arrows and staff directions through the parking lot.  

The cost of breakfast this year is $2.00 and the cost of lunch is $3.10.  You can pay online at https://www.k12paymentcenter.com/

You can find the breakfast and lunch menu at https://abss.nutrislice.com/menu/em-holt-elementary

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/

We will check in kindergarten students for staggered entry at the front of the K-1 building.  Please look for the signs. We will hold our kindergarten Meet the Teacher event for kindergarten families on Wednesday from 4-6pm.  

We thank everyone for helping to make it a great start to the school year! Thank you and have a great night!
