What’s Happening at Holland Road Elementary– April 14, 2025

News

Autism Acceptance Month:  

Autism Acceptance Month celebrates and honours the experiences and identities of Autistic individuals. The focus goes beyond awareness – it’s about fostering true understanding, inclusion and meaningful support.  You may have noticed our bulletin board, which was thoughtfully created by Naphtali, a former Holland Road Elementary student and now a remarkable high school student.  She has dedicated her time and energy to designing and setting up bulletin boards in eight schools, helping to promote greater awareness and understanding of Autism in a powerful and personal way.

Yearbook Club: Our grade 5 students have been working hard on the Holland Road Yearbook.  For grade 5 families: please note that an additional date will be scheduled for the group that missed last week due to the snow day.  The schedule remains unchanged. If you’re interested in purchasing a yearbook, order forms sent home later in May.

Staffing for the 2025-26 school year

  • Are you moving? If you know you are moving out of our school area for the upcoming school year, please contact us so that we can account for these moves in our system.
