Meet Your Teacher, Tuesday, Sept. 2nd, 2:00-3:00
Holt will host a Meet Your Teacher event on Tuesday, September 2nd, from 2:00-3:00. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to view their new classroom and introduce themselves to their new teacher and classmates. Please plan on attending!
Kona Shave Ice after you “Meet Your Teacher” @2:30!
Get some tasty shave ice after you Meet Your Teacher at our Kona Shave Ice fundraiser! Kona Ice will be on the playground at 2:30, selling Shave Ice, and will donate a percentage of all sales!
School Supply Fee and Backpack & Water Bottle
Holt is returning to families paying a $30 supply fee for school supplies ( CLICK HERE TO PAY). This fee allows teachers to purchase the necessary school supplies they need for their classrooms before the start of the school year and throughout the year, to support the curriculum they have planned.
Is this school fee new? No, it has not been implemented for the past few years due to supplemental COVID-19 funds, which are no longer available.
Payment Options: This fee can be paid in full all at once or spread out throughout the school year. If this fee will be a hardship to your family, don't hesitate to get in touch with school secretary Sharon Alberts at alberts_@4j.lane.edu or 541-790-6114.
Visit the 2025-2026 School Supply Fee Webpage to take care of your supply fee, and plan on sending your child(ren) to school with a backpack (no wheels) and a water bottle. Your child’s teacher may have a few other small supply requests that they’ll share once school starts, but we will use these funds to purchase pencils, crayons, markers, scissors, and other basics. Library Volunteers Needed!
Hey Families!
Our library is a busy, exciting place—and we’d love some extra helping hands! We’re looking for parent volunteers to:
Whether you can come in once a week, once a month, or just occasionally, your time makes a big difference. Plus, it’s a fun way to be part of the school community and see how much our students love the library! If you’re interested, please contact me at cortez_r@4j.lane.edu. We’d be so grateful for your help! Thanks for supporting our readers! Robbie Cortez Holt Elementary Teacher librarian cortez_r@4j.lane.edu
