Welcome to Fourth Grade!  I am April Gregory, this is my twelfth year here at Holtville Elementary School, and this is also my tenth year of being a professional educator in an elementary school setting. I am very excited to have your child in my class this year. I will be educating your child in the following subject content areas: Reading, Language Arts, Math, Alabama History, Science, and Writing.

Our school motto at Holtville Elementary is the following: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and most of all to Be Safe. Our Holtville Elementary Mission statement is Every Student Empowered Every Student Succeeds. We will learn about the word responsibility for our behavior, academics, and supplies. Fourth Grade will be a building year as we prepare your child for the next steps in Middle School. I am ready to work with you to ensure your child’s success in my classroom. I want your child to perform their best in all that they do, and to possess strong positive characteristics.
