Dear Parents and Staff of Holly Area Schools,
It was recently reported to us that a few high schools in Oakland County received a threatening phone call this afternoon. Some of those schools went into a secure mode as a precautionary measure and soon returned to normal operations as all the phone calls were determined to be non-credible threats.
Dear HAS Families,
I would like to share the following update to Friday's reminder regarding Oakland County Health Division's lift of the county mask mandate. Soon after our announcement yesterday we learned about the lift of the mask mandate on school buses. Please see the following statement from the Centers for Disease Control.
"Effective February 25, 2022, the CDC does not require wearing of masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems, including early care and education/child care programs."

Dear Parents and Staff of Holly Area Schools,
I am sending this communication to update our families on the situation we are currently facing with student and staff absences. This has been a difficult week for families and staff as we have experienced a significant increase in COVID-related absences, with the greatest numbers at the high school and middle school.

Dear Families of Holly Area Schools,
Based on guidance just updated today from the Oakland County Health Division, the timeline for isolation due to a positive COVID case has been reduced to five (5) days. This change means that any students who test positive for COVID must only isolate for five days after symptom onset or test date, as long as symptoms are improving and they have been fever-free for 24 hours with no medication. To clarify, day one of isolation is the first day AFTER symptom onset or test date. Individuals may return to school on day six. (See OCHD Updated Isolation-Quarantine Guidance)
