Dear Hollis Families,
Hopefully, this letter finds you and your family doing well and enjoying the start of summer. As we begin to approach July, we inevitably begin to think about going back to school. This year, plans for returning to school are accompanied by a lot of unknowns. As of today, it is our desire to return to in-person instruction with enhanced safety, cleaning, and social distancing practices, on our anticipated start date of August 13. However, we are aware that this may not be possible. Due to the ever-changing threat of COVID-19, we want to be prepared on how to best educate the students at Hollis Grade School. Many of you have probably heard about three different options being considered as schools begin to plan for reopening.- Traditional school with increased safety measures (regular full-day instruction with social distancing, increased cleaning and disinfecting, increased hand washing, etc).
- Remote learning (full remote learning with no in-person instruction)
- Hybrid or blended (combination of remote learning and traditional instruction)
