Dear Holland Patent School Community,

As we wrap up a summer brimming with learning and excitement, I can't help but reflect on what a special time it is to be part of our Holland Patent School Community. This summer, we were thrilled to welcome our students to enrichment programs, where classrooms buzzed with fun-filled learning experiences. From traditional subjects like reading, writing, and math to enriching swimming experiences, our students had a blast while also forging lasting friendships.

Our dedicated teachers have also been hard at work, engaging in professional learning to prepare for the upcoming school year. With their enthusiasm and new strategies, we are poised to create a positive and academically enriching environment for all our students. As we look ahead, we are committed to expanding opportunities that will best prepare our children for the future, continuously reviewing and enhancing our technology, infrastructure, and facilities to support these goals.  We're gearing up for exciting feasibility work both inside and outside our school buildings. These initiatives will enhance our learning and athletic environment. We're eager to innovate and create spaces that inspire collaboration, creativity, and learning at every turn.

We are committed to our Blueprint for Excellence, which defines our mission, vision, and core values, guiding us towards innovation, resource allocation, and sustained growth. Our focus areas—Academic Excellence, Student Opportunities, and Community Connections—will continue to shape our efforts as we strive to be a leading educational institution where every student and staff member thrives.

Together, we are embarking on an exciting journey this school year. Welcome back to a year brimming with opportunities for growth and achievement!

Warm regards,

Dr. Cheryl J. Venettozzi
Superintendent of Schools
