Holabird STEM/Middle School's reopening information is ready for you to view. Included in this handout is information about arrival, dismissal, COVID procedures, breakfast/lunch, supplies, and bathroom procedures. We look forward to the return of students in the coming weeks.
Starting February 11, 2021 at 4 p.m., report cards for the first and second quarter will be in our Focus system. Students and families can log in to Focus using the student’s login information in the student portal. Directions are available and the process can be viewed in a video with words or without words. Parents may also request a paper copy of the report card mailed to their home by contacting their child’s school.
Good Afternoon, Holabird School Families----
As stated in the BCPS Reopening plan, families who have selected virtual learning or not responded to the return to school survey, will have ongoing opportunities to update their choices and choose in-person hybrid learning. Our staff will be able to accommodate requests, make necessary arrangements and work with transportation (if applicable) to ensure a smooth transition back to school. The schedule below is in alignment with the phased re-entry to school. If you would like to return to hybrid in-person learning, please submit your request at: (link found on our Holabird Website, PTA FB page, and the ALL STUDENTS page)
Please use the schedule on our website and on the BCPS website to identify request date windows and hybrid learning start dates for students. The specific start dates will be cohort dependent (Cohort A- Mondays and Cohort B- Thursdays). Families will receive a cohort assignment message before the first day of school.
Families must fill out a separate form for each student returning to hybrid learning using the school-specific form. Return to learning form links can be found on school websites. A member of our staff will contact you if we have any questions.
Again this is intended for those who did not complete any previous survey OR completed as virtual and would like to change their intention to hybrid.
Thank you for your continued support!

Students and parents, please read below about Holabird's online behavior expectations.
As we transition to communicating online instead of in person, we need to keep in mind our Digital Citizenship rules. When we post online we do not want to criticize our classmates. We need to remember to be kind and if we wouldn't say it in person we shouldn't say it online. We want our Holabird family to feel respected and afford everyone the opportunity to respond online.
