Mask Medical Exemption for Students Procedure

In order for a student who is age 2 or older to be exempt from wearing a mask due to medical reasons, HAS will require parents to have their child’s doctor (MD or DO, as required by Emergency Order 2021-1), complete and return the district’s HAS Student Face Covering Exempt Request form.  Please follow the procedures outlined below for the consideration of medical exemption:

  • Once a parent has expressed concern for their child wearing a mask to school due to medical reasons, the building principal, administrative assistant, or central office administrative assistant will direct the parent to the HAS Student Mask Exempt Form on our website. 
  • The form will be returned to the Student Services Office, to Mrs. Lauria/Mrs. Stevens
    • If additional information is needed from the physician for the request to be determined, a Release of Information will be completed by the parent.
  • Once the exemption request has been reviewed, the building principal will contact the parent.

Thank you for your interest in Virtual Learning with Holly Schools. 

As a partner in your child’s education, it is important to support your family's need for learning options. At the same time it is also important that we ensure that all Holly students have the opportunity to grow, develop and thrive within their learning environment. While we understand that the current situation may be a difficult one, we have seen that some students find great success in virtual learning, and others do not. It is the goal of Holly Schools to work with each of our families to identify a learning path that best supports each student’s learning needs. 

We are happy to offer a virtual learning option for those students who have shown that they can be successful through this mode.
