Dear Parents and Guardians:

We welcome you and your children to the Holly Glen School family. Holly Glen has provided a quality education to the Monroe Township community for over 50 years! Our fine teachers and staff provide an excellent instructional program for your children and it is one that meets their needs, academically, emotionally and socially.

At Holly Glen, our faculty and parents work together to meet the needs of all students in an inclusive learning environment incorporating the Five Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Trust and Family as we come together as a Community of Caring School. Because of our belief of educating the “whole child”, and our high academic standards, Holly Glen was awarded the prestigious NJ Governor’s School of Excellence Award in 2005-2006, the NJ School of Character Honorable Mention Award for 2006 – 2008, the Promising Practices Award in 2011 and was a Whole Child Network Initiative Recipient from ASCD in 2012.

We welcome parents, grandparents, community participation and support during the 2017-2018 school year and solicit membership in the Holly Glen Home and School Association (H.S.A.). All members of the Holly Glen community should consider becoming a school volunteer. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Melody Kleva-Forchic , or Mrs. Regina Iacovelli, H.S.A. President at hollyglenhsa@monroetwp.k12.nj.us Working together, we will be able to attain our collective and individual goals. Please review our Parent-Student Handbook, especially our Mission Statement and School Motto on page 1. We have also included on our webpage links to the school’s report card and “Holly Glen At a Glance”.

We are very proud of the students at Holly Glen School. The K-4 curriculum is guided by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The students work diligently in all curricular areas and also have an opportunity to participate in many clubs and co-curricular areas as well. Technology is an important tool in many subject areas, as we have a fully equipped computer lab and laptop cards with wireless internet access.

A complete list of our teaching staff, with their telephone extensions and email addresses is located on our website. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please feel free to contact administration or any staff member. We hope you find our website informative.

On behalf of the entire Holly Glen Elementary School faculty, we truly believe we are “Building a Bridge to the Future”, and we welcome you to the Holly Glen School family!

Remember, We Are…Holly Glen!!

Sincerely,

Karen Pontano-Crossley, Principal
