Hello families!

This message is for the TENTH grade families ONLY: If you have already sent in an updated physical form for 2025 you may disregard this message. This includes families who have already uploaded a physical in FamilyID for their student to play a sport.

Massachusetts law requires physical examinations of students in 10th grade to be completed by their doctor. Please email us rodriguest@holliston.k12.ma.us or have your student bring an updated physical and immunization record to the HHS Health Office as soon as possible. Sports physicals can not be acceptable forms of documentation in this case.

Thank you,

Tereza & Kim

As the school year is underway, so is the 2025-2026 Yearbook! As we know, many parents like to purchase a yearbook, we wanted to make you aware that sales for the 2025-2026 yearbook are now live.
