We look forward to celebrating this special milestone with our Holmes family.

🎪 PBIS Carnival Success! 🎪

What an amazing day at our PBIS Carnival! Our students had an absolute blast enjoying the games, activities, treats, and time together as a school community. Seeing so many smiling faces made all the hard work worth it!

A huge THANK YOU to all of our family members who took time out of their busy schedules to volunteer and donate items. Your generosity and support helped make this event a memorable experience for our students. We truly could not have done it without you!

We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Milwaukee Fire Department for stopping by and showing off their fire trucks. Our students loved exploring the trucks, meeting the firefighters, and cooling off when they got sprayed with the water hose. It was definitely one of the highlights of the day!

Lastly, a very special thank you goes to Mr. Weber, our 4th-grade teacher, for helping organize and coordinate the event and making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Your dedication and hard work helped make this carnival a tremendous success.

Thank you to everyone who helped make today a fun, safe, and unforgettable day for our students! 🖤💛

Remember the last day of school is June 15, 2026.

Our last early-release day is slowly approaching: April 15, 2026. School will be releasing two hours early at 12:15. Please make sure that arrangements are made for your scholars who are not enrolled in STRYVE 365 (our CLC program).

If your child rides the bus, they will be placed on it unless you call the main office before 11 AM with different instructions. We ask that each scholar be picked up by 12:15 PM, so our staff can attend professional development to learn how to better support our scholars.

Three cheers for the amazing families who showed up to FAST yesterday! 🎉 We had such a blast laughing, connecting, and building those special bonds that make our school community shine. Your presence truly made our day!

Here's the exciting part—we've got 2 more weeks of FAST magic happening, and we'd absolutely love to see more of you there! 🌟 If you're curious or have questions, Ms. Ashley is your person—just reach out and we'll get you all set up.
