CCSD Mission

To inspire every student to think, to learn, to achieve, to care.

At The Hollys, our curriculum and instruction has been carefully chosen to align with our district mission.

Thinking Maps

We are a Thinking Maps school. Students in K - 5 use the 8 maps to help them visualize their thinking in all content areas.

Reading

The teachers at the Hollys also do a lot of work with The Comprehension Toolkit by Stephanie Harvey and Ann Goudvis. This year we will be integrating technology too! A group of pilot teachers will be using the companion book Connecting Comprehension and Technology by Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis to adapt and extend the Comprehension Toolkit lessons with technology.
