_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Welcome!!
Hi! I am Mrs. Holder, your child's 5th grade ELA and Social Studies teacher. This is my 12th year teaching upper elementary students! I am excited about all the great things we learn all year long.
- Should you need to contact me, please email and I will do my best to respond as promptly as possible. School Status is a way for me to text you from the School Status App.
- Check Active Parent for information regarding grades, discipline and attendance.
- Our newsletter will contain homework and study guide information.
- Planners should be a source of information at a classroom level and for your child to become independent with daily schedules and time management.
I want to encourage students to always do their best, be kind and keep that Pirate Pride in all you do!
Be on the lookout for new updates!
Thank you!
Mrs. Holder
