Hawks Herald

Wanting to be part of the future and direction of Hollis School? Contact Superintendent Chad Jones to be part of the 5 Year Strategic Planning Committee. Meetings will take place this spring with the goal to have a plan in place by July 1, 2022. We want all staff, parents, and community members interested in the vision and plan to be a part of the committee.

Ideas for Goals include:

1. Curriculum/Student Achievement
2. Facilities
3. Community Service
4. Finances

Please email cjones@hollis328.net if you desire your voice to be heard. We want Hollis to be the premier K-8 school in the county and Central Illinois and we want to know your thoughts on how to improve it in the next five years. We are planning the first meeting to be held sometime this month.

Hollis Hawks Scoreboard Fundraiser

Who: Students who want to help raise money for the scoreboard

What: Free throw-a-thon and Serve-a-thon

Where: Hollis Gym

When: Saturday, February 12 at 10:00

(Basketball at 10:00, Volleyball 11:30)

Why: To raise money for new scoreboards in the Hollis gym

Come out and help raise money for new scoreboards. Participants will collect either flat pledges or collect for every free throw made or successful serve. Participants will shoot 50 free throws and/or serve 30 serves. See the sponsor form in Friday Folders.

Concessions will be available

for purchase.

In the event that school would need to be closed due to inclement weather or other emergency, parents are reminded to check the following stations and sites: WMBD-TV, WHOI-TV, WEEK-TV, www.centralillinoisproud.com, www.week.com, www.facebook.com/hollisgradeschool.

We will use Blackboard Connect to notify you of school delays or cancellations. You will receive a text and email message via Blackboard. If you are not receiving Blackboard messages, please contact the office!

If school is canceled or dismissed early for an emergency, all after-school activities are automatically canceled.

There will be no remote learning for snow days. These days will have to be made up at the end of the year.

Don't forget, we also have an option to start school an hour later at 9:15. Although we have not used this option yet, we could. This would provide extra time for car riders with the idea that roads would be in good conditions for travel a little later in the morning. Bus pickups would be an hour later. See the bus schedule on our website. Latchkey will not be available in the morning if we implement a late start.
