Parent Weekly Update (8/31/2021)

Greetings Holmes Families!  This is Mr. Anglin with your weekly update.  We have started another school year and the Holmes staff is excited to work with you and our students for the 2021-22 school year!  

Weekly Updates will be communicated on Tuesday of each week and will contain important information regarding Holmes and YCS.

Also, if you haven’t already, please be sure to sign-up for your child’s teacher’s Remind App.  The Remind app is another way that we will get important information to our families.  You can contact your child’s teacher for their Remind App access information.


Important Upcoming Dates

There is NO SCHOOL on Friday, September 3rd and Monday, September 6th due to Labor Day Break.

School Resumes on Tuesday, September 7th.

 

Back to School Information and Procedures

It has been great to see our families dropping off their children for the first days of school as we welcome students back to the building.  

Beginning next week, September 7th:

  • We will ask that parents drop off students at the outside entry doors only and allow students to walk to their classrooms on their own.  These procedures are to help with the health and safety protocols for Covid-19. If you need to speak with a teacher or have any questions please come through the main entrance of the building to the office.
  • Also, please remember that all YCS schools have a mask policy for adults whether you are vaccinated or not.  Please be sure to wear a mask when you enter the building to help ensure the safety of our students and staff.

Thank you for your support as we continue to work to keep our students safe.

 

Parent Drop Off and Pick Up

Parent Drop-Off and Pick-up is off of Peabody St.  Please do not pull into the main loop (off of Holmes Rd.) to drop off (between 8:00 am - 8:45 am) or pick up your student (between 3:10 pm - 3:45 pm).

All students who are dropped off and picked up will enter/exit the building through the East/Peabody St. Doors.  

The main loop needs to remain clear as this is where our buses drop off students in the morning and load students for dismissal in the afternoon. 

NOTE: 

  • If you arrive after 8:45 am, please drop your student off at the main entrance of the building.
  • If you are running late to pick up your student after 3:45 pm, please come to the main entrance of the building.

 

Bus Riders/Walkers:

Students that ride the bus or walk to school will enter through the following doors when they arrive at school (see map below):

  • 2nd Grade - West Entrance
  • 3rd Grade and Special Education - Main Entrance
  • 4th Grade and 5th Grade - East/Peabody St. Doors

 

Technology Devices

All YCS students 2nd-5th grade are assigned a Chromebook/laptop.  If you were unable to attend the technology distribution days over the summer, you can contact the Technology Department to schedule a time to pick up your device by emailing techsupport@ycschools.us or calling 734-221-1088. The technology department can also assist with any device, software, or application issues/needs you may have.  

 

If you are unable to make arrangements to pick up your device, you can contact your child’s teacher or email me at ganglin3@ycschools.us or call our office at 734-221-2100.  

 

If you have any questions, or if you need any support please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or me at ganglin3@ycschools.us OR call  734-221-2102.
