 We wore pajamas on Friday as a reminder that you need to put your devices away before bedtime to help yourself to get enough sleep.
A Message from Principal Crews
Dear Hollin Meadows Families,
As we near the end of an incredible first quarter, I want to celebrate how far our Hornets have come! Our Hornets are settling into their daily routines, and their hard work and focus are helping us accelerate learning across all subjects. We hold high expectations because we know our students are capable of achieving great things.
Please continue to make daily attendance a priority. Our students engage in rigorous, high-level instruction every day, and each day of learning helps build a strong foundation for the opportunities ahead—in middle school, high school, college, and beyond.
The end of the quarter also brings parent-teacher conferences. I encourage you to attend and ask any questions you have about your child’s progress, strengths, and areas for growth. Please know that your advocacy is always welcome. We share the same goal: helping every student learn, grow, and soar.
Thank you for your continued partnership, dedication, and trust. Hollin Meadows is an exceptional learning community, and I’m grateful to work alongside you.
Warmly,
Jasibi Crews
Principal, Hollin Meadows Elementary School
