Important Information
5th Grade is departmentalized - meaning your child will see both 5th grade teachers throughout the day for different subjects. Please ensure that your child has a sturdy backpack that they can carry from class to class. Your child will have Ms. Taylor for science and math, and Mrs. Wells for ELA (English Language Arts), Socials Studies, and WIN (What I Need).
We ask that all water bottles that come from home are able to seal completely and contain only water. This will help prevent spills/messes, especially when transitioning between classes with laptops. Juices and other non-water liquids may be consumed in the cafeteria.
If you have a change in transportation, please send a note with your child in the morning or call the front office, and the homeroom teacher will be contacted. Please do not message the homeroom teacher during the school day, as we do not often have time to check messages until all students have left for the day.
Please be sure to check the Holly Tree homepage for all policies. Please note that all items in the lost and found will be donated at the end of each month. We highly encourage you to label your child's jackets and lunch boxes so the misplaced items can be returned to your child.
Homework Policy
Students will be given a weekly homework planner for all classes. Please ensure that your child completes their homework each night it is assigned. Homework is also posted on Google Classroom for each class. If your child is absent, it is their responsibility to complete their work and turn it in when they return to class.
