Holcomb Elementary School

🎉 Big day at Holcomb Elementary!

This morning, we broke ground at Holcomb Elementary for our phase 2 bond projects— and we couldn't be more excited for what's ahead.

Holcomb Elementary's current building has served Oregon City families since 1966. Sixty years later, it's time for a refresh — and thanks to the 2025 Bond, Holcomb is getting safety and security enhancements, essential infrastructure updates including new roofs, plumbing, flooring, windows, electrical systems, and HVAC, accessibility improvements, and updated classrooms and learning spaces.

Bremik Construction was selected as the construction manager/general contractor for the Holcomb project, and we're happy to partner with a team that shares our commitment to our students and the community.

This is a Phase 2 project under the 2025 Bond — made possible because Oregon City voters said yes to investing in our schools. 🏗️💛

Construction will soon be underway, and we can't wait to show you what's coming. Follow along for updates at ocschoolbond.org, or our 2025 Bond's social media channels!

Field Day Reminders for Tomorrow

Holcomb Field Day is tomorrow, Friday, June 5th!

We can't wait to watch our students enjoy Field Day 2026! Below are a few important reminders:
Please apply sunscreen to your student before school (we are not able to apply sunscreen to students).
There are water activities, so please dress students accordingly. Shoes that are easier to take on and off are preferable as they will need to remove them for our inflatable obstacle courses.
We encourage students to wear Holcomb Spirit wear.
Please send your student with their water bottle.
Schedule:
Kinder-2nd Grade Timeslot: 8:45-10:30 AM
3rd-5th Grade Timeslot: 12:00-1:45 PM

A few volunteer slots are still available. Sign Up HERE. Please remember you must be on the approved volunteer list in order to volunteer at field day. Thank you from the PTA to everyone who has signed up to volunteer!
