Good Evening Mustang Families,
This is Mr. Bulla, Assistant Principal, with your weekly announcements:
- Junior Beta club is collecting can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House to support families in need. If anyone is interested in participating, they can drop off their collected tabs at the front office during school hours.
- Sports This Week:
Monday-Soccer at home against Reidsville Middle. Softball and Tennis is away at Reidsville Middle.
Wednesday-Soccer, softball, and tennis are at home against Dillard Middle. Thursday-Football at home against Rock Middle (This is our 8th grade night).
All games starts at 4:00 p.m. Don't forget that if you are planning on staying after school for any home sports game that you must turn in a game permission form by 10:00 a.m. the day of the game to either your core 1 teacher or the front office. Also - if students do not stay after school, they cannot be dropped off at the game. They must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- Our Mustang Academic Title 1 Night is this Tuesday from 6-7 p.m. Come meet your child's teacher, pick up your child's progress report, and learn about the curriculum, SchoolConnect (formerly ClassTag), Canvas, and the importance of Title 1. If you have questions about getting connected to the school, accessing your student's Canvas, or any other school related questions, we will be happy to assist you and you can speak with someone regarding this. We hope you can join us!
- Some bus information for this week - Bus 336's AFTERNOON driver will be out this week. We have Monday and Tuesday currently covered by a double route. That means the driver will go out and do their normal route, and then return to school to pick up bus 336 students and take them home. They will be delayed in getting home. Bus 97 will not have a driver on Tuesday afternoon and we are currently working to get that covered, or provide a double route. We will keep you posted on CampusConnect or you can call the school.
- This Wednesday, the 25th, we welcome Dr. Bailey, our principal back from Medical Leave! She is very excited to be returning to school and getting back with the students and families and teachers of Holmes. Please join me by welcoming her back to our school!
As always - if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the school and remember - there's no place like Holmes!

Sadly, our world is not always a safe place for our children. Come and learn what you can do to keep them safe.
Dress to impress! October 9th is picture day.
Even though the stores have been selling pumpkins since July, September 22 is the first day of fall. ;)
Instead of hitting the repost button on violent or harmful content, let’s report it. Sharing only adds fear and stress, but reporting brings accountability. Together, we can make social media safer!
#Report, Not Repost
RCS and law enforcement aware of the continued social media threats being reposted. These threats are not directed toward any Rockingham County School or any school whatsoever. Law enforcement has deemed the posts as not credible or a hoax.
#Report, Don't Repost
If you see a social media post threatening violence, don’t repost it—Report It! The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Let’s work together to keep our schools safe. #ReportNotRepost
Due to the heavy rainfall, localized flooding and isolated road closures, Rockingham County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay on Wednesday, September 18th, Staff are to report at normal time, unless unsafe to do so.
It takes a lot of technology to prepare our students for the ever changing workplace!
On September 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers signed the U.S. Constitution. For over 200 years, the Constitution has served as the supreme law of the land. The Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights and other amendments, define our government and guarantee our rights. Each year, on September 17, Americans celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. In addition, September 17-23 is also recognized as Constitution Week. During this time, USCIS encourages Americans to reflect on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be a U.S. citizen.
