Dear Hollis Staff, Students, Parents and Community,

We hope you and your loved ones are doing well in this time of great uncertainty.

The well-being of our staff, students, parents and community is our main priority. It’s our purpose and mission; to spread the power of optimism, hope, social connection and greater meaning at work and in our personal lives. We pay tribute to the healthcare professionals, public health officials, educators and all of the extraordinary men and women who are helping to keep us safe, healthy and able to function during this time. We are inspired by the exceptional courage of so many and we are grateful.

Our mindset matters in these times of uncertainty. Activating ways to increase our levels of optimism and adaptability, while reducing stress and anxiety, can help us best uncover new possibilities and generate positive outcomes in this current climate.

Below is a recent video and podcast series created to guide you in this process. If it is helpful to you, please share it with those who may also benefit.

Attached is some more information on an opportunity for all of you to participate in a student, staff, family and community social and emotional well-being online learning platform. This will be offered by Hollis Consolidated School District free of charge!  All you have to do is tell us you are interested.  Look for a Google Form soon to communicate if you would like to participate in this great opportunity!
