Our Philosophy Our philosophy encompasses the development of the "whole child." We, the faculty and staff of Holly Hill Elementary strive to achieve this purpose by guiding each child personally, physically, socially, and intellectually. We provide a stable, nurturing environment in which children feel safe and respected as they develop a sense of pride and self-worth. We realize that children are more successful when there is a cooperative, productive relationship among parents, teachers, administrators, and members of our community. We believe in a continuous process of communication and evaluation through reporting regularly to parents. Therefore, parental and community involvement is an integral part of our program. Each child is a unique individual who brings a variety of experiences, values, skills, needs, and learning styles to our school. As educators we cannot guarantee success, but we must provide the opportunity for each child to become successful. To accommodate these various differences we offer a well-balanced and flexible program. It is our belief that special needs must be met before maximum intellectual growth can be achieved. We provide many specialized teachers and staff members who offer a variety of educational experiences to facilitate learning. We strive to instill in each child a healthy respect for self and others. It is our desire that each child will develop social skills which will enable him or her to become a responsible, productive, and contributing member of our ever-changing society.
