PRINCIPAL WELCOME

Welcome!

I am pleased and honored to serve as the Principal at Holmes Elementary. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it’s a vibrant community where young minds flourish.

Holmes Elementary is more than just a school; it’s a village school with deep ties to our community. Here, students can walk or ride their bikes to school, creating a sense of belonging and connection. Our hallways echo with laughter, curiosity, and the pitter-patter of little feet.

What Makes Us Special:

  1. Academic Excellence: We excel at pushing our students to their highest potential.

  2. Creative Exploration: Our classrooms are like treasure chests waiting to be unlocked. Art projects, science experiments, and imaginative play fill the air. Creativity isn’t just encouraged; it’s celebrated.

  3. Care and Connection: Our caring staff, supportive parents, and engaged community create a safety net for every child.

Your Role as Partners: Parents and guardians, you are our partners on this journey. Attend parent-teacher conferences, join our Holmes Parent Club, and be part of your child’s educational experience. 

In Partnership for Excellence, 

Sandra Smits Principal
