Crisis Committee Update
Our Holland Education Association (HEA) office is located at 788 Columbia, off the corner of 32nd St. and Columbia. Parking is located in the back of the building.
The Crisis Committee has met six times this month. sometimes those meetings included MEA resource people and sometimes just our district committee. One meeting specifically was a three hour public relations training given by MEA representative, Rosemary Carey.
We will communicate information and activities that we expect you to support and participate in our efforts. Our goal is to raise community awareness and send positive messages that we are hardworking and a huge asset in the community.
Our first positive message/activity will be bookmarks with our slogan, school phone numbers and Fall Parent/Teacher conference Dates. These will be delivered by your AR’s on Tuesday, to be passed out during Open House that evening.
AR’s will be checking phone trees again soon to make sure we can get you urgent messages in a timely fashion. When contacted with a phone tree message please call the next person on the list , identifying the message as a "HEA phone tree" message. If you reach a live person, they should continue the phone tree. If you should reach an answering machine, leave the message and then call the next number on the phone tree. The last person on the phone tree should in turn call the AR to verify that the message has been successfully cycled.
