					<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, July 8, we will do a culmination drive through to allow students to pick up their diplomas, awards if they earned them, and receive an 8th grade class pennant gift. This will take place between 8-10:00 am around the perimeter of the school. Out of respect for our neighbors who may still be sleeping at that time, we kindly ask you not to honk your cars or play loud music. To ensure traffic flows properly, please proceed from Plummer and Paso Robles and head southbound. The items will be distributed at specific locations according to students’ last names. 
1)	A-E Front of School
2)	F-L Prairie Gate
3)	M-R Near Corner of Prairie/Wish
4)	S-Z Bus Gate (Vincennes Street between Paso Robles and Wish) 
5)	Yearbooks (large grass area in front of the school) 
 
Some of our staff will be present to participate in this event so we hope to see all our students. Details to this message is also posted on our school website. 

Makeup Days: July 10 and July 13 between 10:00 - 12:00 p.m.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Parent and Family Engagement Policy and School-Parent Compact has been developed and approved by Title I parents for the 2019-20 school year. It has been mailed to the current address on file on November 20, 2019. It is also available on our school website in the Programs tab under Title I.

Each year LAUSD schools are required to review and revise a District and School Parent and Family Engagement Policy.  This is then sent to all families of each Title I school.  All parents are invited to review the School-Parent Compact.  This policy and compact are reviewed annually by our school committees and provide all Title I parents the opportunity to participate.  Holmes Middle School offered that opportunity for parents to review on Thursday, October 3, 2019.  This meeting took place in the Parent Center at 3:15 p.m. through a written notice of invitation extended to the whole school.

In this mailing, we have included a copy of the revised Holmes Middle School Parent and Family Engagement Policy 2019-2020, a copy of the Los Angeles Unified School District Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy, and a revised copy of Holmes MS School-Parent Compact 2019-2020.  These documents are yours to keep.  They are solely for your information.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call Mr. Martin Betancourt at Holmes Middle School at (818) 678-4111.]]></description>
