First Day of School Information
Approximately 230 Preschool - Grade 5 students will be welcomed to the 2023-2024 school year. Supervision of students begins with the dropping off of students from the first bus at 7:35 a.m. Students who are car riders and walkers should arrive at school no earlier than 7:30 a.m. and no later than 8:00 a.m. Students are not allowed on the grounds prior to 7:30 a.m. Car riders should be dropped off at the south entrance to the gym and will be directed to the main gym entrance by staff members. Walkers should also enter through the main gym door. On the first first day of school, we encourage all parents to take pictures at home and not at school. This will help with the traffic flow at the school. Parents and guardians will not be allowed to bring students into the building. The staff at Holland Elementary will be outside and helping with any apprehensive students.
Dismissal of car riders and walkers takes place at the canopy entrance to the main building at 3:00 p.m. All students riding the buses are dismissed from either the back door or the gym entrance.
