HOLLIDAY ISD

August 11, 2022

Dear Parent or Guardian:

Please allow me to introduce myself.  I am Grace Rivers, and this is my fifth year teaching at Holliday High School.  This is my 26th year of teaching, including 5 years at Zundy Jr. High, 1 year at Wichita Falls High School, 4 years at Electra High School, and 11 years at Petrolia High School.  I am excited to be here and proud to be an Eagle!

In my position this year, I will teach all Algebra I classes, one section of Algebra II, and College Algebra.  I look forward to working with your child this year.  In addition to being a teacher, I am a wife and mother.  I have a College Freshman this year, Sarah, and my husband, Eli, works for Iowa Park CISD in the transportation department.

Being a mom, I understand that parents want to know what is happening at school and like to be informed of their child’s progress during the year.  Hopefully, this letter will serve as the first step in continued, effective communication throughout the year.  On the first day of school, your child will receive some paperwork containing information about being in my class. It will include rules and procedures, supplies needed, my calculator policy, cell phone and smartwatch policy, and grading, homework, late work, make-up work, and retests and corrections policies, along with a tutorial schedule. For College Algebra, things will look a bit different as the syllabus and grading policies will come from the professor of the course through your student’s Blackboard account. 

Please take the time to read through the documents and discuss them with your child.  Then, sign and date the Classroom Contract and return the ENTIRE packet with your child by Monday, August 22, 2022

If you have any questions, please contact me at school by phone or email.  My contact information is provided below.  Also, you will be able to find all of this information on my webpage.

Here’s to another great year soaring with the Eagles,

Mrs. Rivers
