Holly Meadows Public School


Holly Meadows Elementary school is located in Simcoe County in Ontario, Canada.  They pride themselves, in putting their students first and foremost and in following the set of standards made by the Simcoe County District School Board.

They embrace all races, religions and cultural lines openly in the school.  They believe that the principles of integrity, responsibility, corporation, respect, optimism, honesty, empathy and courage are very important to students, as well as our community.

When it comes to safety, they put the students and facility first.  They work together to hold drills periodically so that everyone can remain safe. Some of these include shelter in place, hold and secure, lock down, and fire drills. You can read more about these in the Safety section on their website.

The school also looks out for the safety of individual students by ensuring that staff is safe and that students sign out at the office upon departure. Police partnership is important,  as they take pride in having a great relationship with local police.  Holly Meadows believes that the children can be safer and happier.

In the event of a medical accident, Holly has the proper first aid equipment available. Those students with medical conditions are looked after on an individual basis, and provided for as needed.

If a child does not report to school due to a medical condition, Holly asks that parents make a call to the office and let them know about the problems. Accountability is a vital role schools play in a child's safety.  If they do not hear from you in the event of an absence, Holly Meadows will make a telephone call home to ensure that everything is okay with the child.  They call this their Safe Arrival System.

When it comes to classes and extracurricular programs, they offer a range and ensure that volunteers and staff are perfect for the positions. Extracurricular activities are a great way to build social skills in students and they are a chance for students to find out who they really are. To find out what after school activities they have for your little one, give the office a call.

Another vital part of diversity in Holly school starts with their student council. Student council is made up of parents, community representatives and teachers that look to bring happiness, participation and well-being into the lives of their students.  They find ways to promote growth and administer to the school.

We encourage parents to get involved and make a difference in their child's life as well their communities.
