HS Primary School hosts Back to School Night Holly
Springs Primary School held their Back to School Night on Thursday,
August 19, in the activity building. Principal Joseph Stone welcomed
all parents and guests. Stone discussed the
district uniform dress code. He also informed parents about attendance
policies and procedures. He informed parents as to where these policies
could be found in the HSSD Parent-Student Handbook. Dinah
Kay Lundine, instructional coach, discussed the goal of federal
programs, which is to help every child attain a high-quality education.
Parents were shown the school-parent compacts
that must be signed each year, as an agreement between home and school
as to the responsibilities of each party in the learning process. Parents were extended an invitation to join the Federal Programs Committee at the primary school. Mamie
Byers, parent liaison, talked about parent involvement and the Parent
Center, inviting all parents to take advantage of this valuable
resource for their children. Lorena Adams,
school nurse, discussed the health initiative along with other health
related activities that will take place this school year. She also
invited parents and students to visit a booth set up in the hallway
promoting healthy snacks. Mrs. Bell and Ms.
Turner’s first grade class, with the help of Nurse Adams and the music
teacher, Mrs. Jenkins, performed the song, “Cookin’ Up Healthy.” Stone
introduced the 2010-2011 primary school staff before parents were
dismissed to grade level meetings and classroom visits to meet their
children’s teachers. In these meetings, the
parents received the 2010-2012 Parent-Student Handbook and the
school-parent compacts. Teachers discussed the handbooks, compacts,
school and classroom rules, promotion/retention, Essential Learning
Objectives (ELOs), grading policy, reading requirement, honor roll and
homework. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria after classroom visits. The
Holly Springs Primary School would like to thank all the parents for
their attendance and involvement in their children’s education.
