Tulsa’s only PreK-Grade 12 independent Episcopal school.

Dutch Weekly August 3 - 9

A checklist ... just a few weeks until the start of school.

Annual Forms — You should have received an email on July 19 if you haven't completed Annual Forms for one of your students. Please take a moment to do that now on the Parent Portal.

Physicals — Physicals are required to be in date before a student can start school. You should get an email from the school nurse if your child's has expired.

Immunizations — HH utilizes the Oklahoma State Immunization Registry (OSIIS) for monitoring immunizations for school. If your child's information is incomplete in OSIIS, you will receive an email from the school nurse.

Order Books — Check your child's class list on the Parent Portal, then go to MBS Direct Bookstore for the required books and correct ISBN numbers. You can order books from another source, but make sure the ISBN numbers match the edition on MBS. (See links below)

Buy Uniforms — Please see the the note below.

Order your books now

Order course materials in the virtual bookstore at https://bnck-12.com/hollandhall. The link below will lead you through the step-by-step process for ordering your child’s course materials.

New this year, make a note of one of your children’s student ID numbers which is located on the same page as the course information in the Parent Portal. (If you have more than one child, only one student ID number is required to access the bookstore.)

Support your team! Become a 2024-25 Dutchbacker

As we are approximately one month from the start of the fall sports season, it is time to gear up for an exciting 2024-25 athletic year. Dutchbacker sponsorships and memberships are now posted on the Holland Hall website: 2024-25 Dutchbacker membership/sponsorship. Please note that reserved parking spots sold out quickly last year so be sure to reserve your spot.

New digital Dutch Athletic passes: This year we will be using digital Dutch athletic passes for admittance instead of the key tag. Each membership/sponsorship will be given a code to upload your digital athletic pass for use for every HOME athletic event. Once you sign up for Dutchbackers, a code will be sent to you after August 1 for you to upload to your phone. Be sure to download the GoFan app to your phone.

We will again be having three media guides this year: fall, winter and spring. We need all media guide ads and scoreboard logos by August 15. We hope to have the fall media guide available in early September.

Thank you for your support of Dutch athletics! Have a great rest of your summer and please be in touch with any questions!

PRIMARY SCHOOL

Join us for the EPK Playground Playdate

EPK Playground Playdate

Date: August 8
Time: 9:30-10:30 a.m.
Location: EPK and Pre-K Playground (playgrounds around the circle just northeast of the Pre-School Building). You can enter the main gates and follow the street around to the shaded parking north of the playground.

We know that the first day at a new school can feel exciting and a little scary (for students and parents too!). To help your EPK students prepare, the Parents' Association is hosting an EPK Playground Playdate for the incoming Early Pre-K (3-year-old) class!

This will allow your student to become more familiar with the space and make connections with other students before the big day arrives! Please join us for snacks, bubbles, and a little playground fun.

UPPER SCHOOL

US Fall Play Auditions: "The Bugs" by Don Zolidis

Welcome Back Audition Workshop (Not Required)
When: Monday August 5, 5-7 p.m.
Where: Newman Theatre Black Box in the WAC
About: Students will have the opportunity to participate in exercises, games, and fun to see old friends, meet new ones, and get the “nerves out” before auditions on Tuesday. This is NOT required, but a great way to all be together, do some character work, have fun and support each other before Tuesday’s auditions. Even if you are NOT auditioning and are an interested theatre student, you can attend!

Auditions (open to 9th-12th grade students)
When: Tuesday August 6, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Where: Newman Theatre Black Box in the WAC

When a couple of disgruntled honeybees discover their habitat is going to be destroyed to make way for a swimming pool, there’s only one thing for them to do: forge an alliance with the other bugs who live in the yard and stop it. With the help of a swashbuckling cockroach, a pessimistic pill bug, a cicada who loves to party, and a couple of smitten fireflies, can the honeybees do the impossible and ruin human construction plans? Or will they have to resort to asking their ancient enemies, the spiders, for help? What can a group of bugs actually do when their ecosystem is threatened? A hilarious satire about ecological disaster and labor issues, written as a nod to the ancient Greek comedies.
