2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR.  7TH GRADE THRU 12TH GRADE MANDATORY D-TAP.  NO SHOT NO SCHOOL.

The mission of Hollencrest Middle School is to offer the best possible comprehensive middle school experience that maximizes each student’s potential by developing individuals with the ability to reason, speak, read, and write effectively.  Working together with parents, we promote in our students a strong sense of responsibility and self-esteem as we equip them with the ability to succeed socially, physically and intellectually.  We prepare students to function in a technologically advanced society preparing them for the challenges of high school, life long learning and responsible citizenship.

Dear Parents,

As the 2011-2012 school year begins comes to an end, I would like to thank you for your continued support of our school, staff and students.  In an effort to maintain our partnership and increase parent involvement, the District has a parent survey to better understand the needs of our families.  The information we gather will help us make decisions for the 2012-13 school year for our school and District. If needed, Hollencrest has identified a computer for you to use during school hours or you may request a paper copy.  Please take a few minutes to give us your feedback. In addition to valuable information you will also be helping your child’s school earn credit, as the school with the most parent participation will receive a unique instructional material.  The window to take this important survey will be May 3-25, 2012.
