W.J. Holsgrove Public School Family Update

March 6th, 2026

Principal's Message

Hello Huskie Families,

We are incredibly proud of our recent school production of Frozen, which was showcased this week through both an evening performance and a matinee for our school community. Opportunities like this are so valuable to our students’ development, building confidence, creativity, collaboration skills, and a strong sense of responsibility. Our performers and crew demonstrated remarkable dedication, perseverance, and hard work as they prepared for the stage, and it truly showed in the quality of the performances. A heartfelt thank you goes to Ms. Olsen, Ms. Casutt, Ms. Hughes and Ms. Corsi for generously giving up their lunch hours, after-school time, and evenings to ensure the play was such a success. We are also deeply grateful to our families and community members who came out to support our students—their smiles and applause meant the world to our cast and crew!

As we approach March Break, we hope all of our families are looking forward to a restful and enjoyable week together. With warmer weather on the way, our school yard is especially muddy and wet at this time of year. We kindly ask families to send children with appropriate outdoor clothing, including waterproof boots and an extra pair of socks, to help keep them comfortable and dry throughout the day. Thank you for your support!

Have a wonderful weekend.

J. Cole, Principal

All Holsgrove parents/guardians are invited to join us. Hope to see you there!

Ramadan - Information for Families & Students

During Ramadan, some of our students are fasting and may choose not to eat or drink during nutrition breaks. To help everyone feel comfortable and supported, we will be offering an alternate, quiet space for students who are fasting during these times. This space gives them a chance to relax, read, or spend time with friends away from food areas. We’re proud to support our students’ diverse traditions and appreciate our school community’s kindness and understanding during this special time. Please reach out to the school if you would like more information.

Hot Lunch Schedule

Please note that when buses are cancelled due to weather our hot lunch program will also be cancelled for the day. Families will be notified of this by email from the school prior to the start of the school day. Families will be refunded the cost of the lunch for that day.
