🌟🔬 Science Fair Success at Holloman Elementary! 🔬🌟
What an incredible day celebrating curiosity, creativity, and hard work at our Science Fair! From the moment the doors opened, you could feel the energy vibrating through the room. The excitement was contagious, and the pride on our students’ faces said it all.
Our students did an outstanding job. Not only with their projects, but especially during their interviews. They spoke confidently, explained their thinking clearly, and truly demonstrated their understanding of the scientific process. It was amazing to watch them share their learning with such enthusiasm and ownership.
Each display represented dedication, perseverance, and growth. Whether experiments worked perfectly the first time or required a few adjustments along the way, our students showed resilience and problem-solving skills that made us all proud.
A huge thank you to our families and staff for supporting our young scientists. Today was a beautiful reminder of what happens when curiosity meets opportunity. Our students shine! ✨
We are so proud of every single participant. Way to go, Holloman scientists! 🧪💙

📢We have great news! 😃
To streamline our Out-Of-Zone (OOZ) process for returning students and to provide our families with more peace of mind, we have replaced the full annual application with a simplified Letter of Intent. 📝
📱For current OOZ students in grades K–4, 6, and 7, who have been pre-approved, parents/guardians will receive a Letter of Intent via the guardian's email listed in PowerSchool beginning today. If you expect a letter and don't receive one this week, please call Let's Talk! 575-812-8573 starting Tuesday, February 17. 💻
💫Here are a few exceptions:
▪️Students transitioning to Middle School: Please note that all current 5th-grade students moving to 6th grade next year must complete a new Out-of-Zone application if they are requesting an OOZ school.
▪️All new students to APS and incoming 6th graders will complete the OOZ application.
▪️If you are returning to APS but have not previously completed an OOZ application, you will complete a new application as well.
✨The application window for new requests will open on March 2nd.✨

✨ Learning in Action: Kagan Training Recap!
Our teachers went back to the classroom last week! 🍎 We were thrilled to host a school wide Kagan Professional Development session, and the energy in the room was absolutely electric.
From the first "Timed Pair Share" to the final team-building activity, our educators were fully immersed in learning new ways to boost student engagement and cooperative learning. It wasn't just a lecture, it was a hands on, high energy experience!
Why Kagan?
Total Participation: No student is left behind.
Social Skills: Students learn to communicate and collaborate.
Boosted Achievement: Engaged brains learn faster and retain more!
Seeing our staff so engaged and excited to bring these structures back to their classrooms was the highlight of our week. We can't wait to see our students reaping the benefits of these active learning strategies! 🚀
Check out some highlights from the day: 📸

Key Takeaways from the Visit:
Safety First: Learning how to stay safe around electricity.
Conservation Hacks: Simple tips like flipping the switch and unplugging unused gadgets.
