Linwood Holton Community Chronicles
August 2021 Summer Edition Volume 1
Greetings Linwood Holton Families,
Also note, there was a message sent from Technology Services to all RPS families. The message stated, "This Chromebook is property of Richmond City Public Schools. If you are not currently attending Summer School or receiving summer tutoring, please return this computer by 8/10/2021 to any RPS location from the hours of 9am-3pm, Mon-Thurs. For questions or concerns, please email servicedesk@rvaschools.net or call 780-7880, opt 1. Thank you for your prompt attention."
Please make sure to return your device to Holton, or the nearest RPS school. We want to do our part to make sure all student remain 1:1 for the upcoming school year. Tech Services needs time to clean and properly document/fix any broken/damaged chromebooks.
We hope that you have having an enjoyable summer and we look forward to seeing you at our Grade-level Orientation and School-wide Meet and Greet!

Grade Level Orientation and School-wide Meet & Greet Social
August 27th, 2021, we will host an all encompassing grade level orientation for students and families. During the allotted grade level times, students will receive their "Welcome Folder" that contains their classroom roster, parent/caregiver information forms, and other important documents.
Students will tour the building, meet their teacher(classroom visit), and complete a learning session with the school counselor. Parents will also participate in a building tour and have the opportunity to learn about the new arrival and dismissal procedures. Student registrations and classroom assignments will not take place on this day. Please make sure to schedule an appointment with Mrs. Schoolfield sschoolf@rvaschools.net for enrollment prior to this event.
For the outdoor social, students will receive a Backpack with school supplies, participate in outdoor activities, and cool off with a popsicle treat! We look forward to seeing you there!!

This system will be able to send messages to both parent/caregiver contacts. In the event of an unplanned emergency, we will also be able to provide you with prompt communication.
