Reproductive Health Program - Holly High School

Holly Area Schools' Board of Education offers students the opportunity to participate in a Reproductive Health program.  These programs are conducted as part of the Health and Child Development and Interpersonal Relations courses at the high school.  The intent of these programs is to provide information to students so that they can make informed choices and to teach the kinds of skills that will help them reinforce those choices.   It is our belief that the parent/family has the greatest influence on positive reproductive health decisions, and the programs offered provide opportunities for students to communicate with parents.  Please view the following letter from the high school principal along with the exclusion form that can be completed and returned to the high school office.

Immunization Information

Since 1978, Michigan law has required children to be up-to-date with required immunizations ON or BEFORE the first day of school/childcare. This rule applies to children entering childcare, kindergarten, and 7th grade or newly enrolled in the school district      Whenever children are brought into group settings, there is a chance for diseases to spread.  Students must follow state vaccine laws in order to attend school.  These laws are the minimum standard to help prevent disease outbreaks in school settings.  The guidelines for required immunizations are provided by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.    For specific vaccination information, please view the Vaccines Required for School Entry in Michigan document.

Fueling Kids’ Futures

Considering the tough economic times facing our area, we are attempting to help Holly School families by making sure all our children have enough food. “Fueling Kids’ Futures One Meal at a Time”  (formerly Blessings in a Backpack)is a program designed to provide students on the free and reduced lunch program with enough food for three meals a day during the weekends.  This program is a community-based program sponsored by Fueling Kids’ Futures, Community Foundation of Greater Rochester, the Kroger Corporation, and the Holly Community.  

If you agree to take part in this program, during the school year, your child will receive a bag filled with purchased food for the weekend.  Bags will be dispensed in a discreet and caring manner.  The simple meals may include food like macaroni and cheese, beef ravioli, canned tuna, granola bars, peanut butter, soups, fruit, and other items.  For you, there is no cost associated with this program.

To ensure, as to the best of our ability, to provide for a safe packing environment all volunteers will follow the guidelines established by the Holly Area Schools.  All food will be sent home in disposable plastic bags.

Backpacks are to be returned to school on Mondays and they will be filled and returned to the child on Fridays.  There is no cost associated with this program.

Integrated Pest Management

Holly Area Schools have adopted an Integrated Pest Management program.  Inherent with this are the District’s efforts to reduce pesticide use as much as possible.  While it may occasionally be necessary to apply a pesticide, these will only be used as a last resort.  This program does not rely on routine pesticide applications to resolve problems.  We use various techniques such as habitat alteration, sanitation, mechanical means, exclusion, etc. to prevent pests from becoming a problem.

You will receive advanced notice of the application of a pesticide, other than bait or gel formulation, at your child’s school.  This advance notice of the application will be given 48 hours before the application.  The law requires us to do this notification by using two methods.  The first method required by the law is the posting at entrances to your child’s school.  The second method we will be using is the posting in a common area located by the main office of the school.  Parents are also entitled to receive this notice by first-class United States mail postmarked at least 3 days before the application.  If you would like to be notified by mail please contact the Operations Department at the following number: (248) 328-3151.  Please give the Operations Department your name, mailing address and what school your child attends.

In an emergency (for example a bee’s nest), pesticides may be applied without prior notice, but you will be provided notice following any such application.

You may review our IPM program or pesticide application records for your child’s school by calling 248.328.3163 or e-mailing jeremy.mason@hask12.org. The number or e-mail may also be used when school is not in regular session.
