Communications Department

The Hollister R-V School District is committed to open, honest, and ongoing communication with our school community. We understand that maintaining a two-way conversation is essential for building relationships.

These relations are the foundation of a strong school system. The district desires to foster strong relationships with district stakeholders.

Statistics consistently show that schools are among the safest places to be due to the strong commitment of educators, families, and our community to our students and schools. We strive to be proactive rather than reactive. In the event of an emergency situation, the Hollister R-V School District has developed a guide that outlines the key elements of our state of preparedness. We hope it will answer questions you have concerning our actions and intentions in the event of an emergency.

SCHOOLMESSENGER

SchoolMessenger is an all-encompassing, school-wide communication system.  It is a one-stop shop for mass communications from teachers, coaches, activity sponsors, and at the building and district levels.  SchoolMessenger is comprised of text messaging, emails, automated phone calls, electronic newsletters, the HSD custom app, and the SchoolMessenger parent app.

  • Receive text messages, straight to your mobile phone with important information about events, school closings, safety alerts, and more. 

    You can participate in this free service just by sending a text message of “Y” or “Yes” to our school’s short code number, 67587.

    You can also opt-out of these messages at any time by simply replying to one of our messages with “Stop”.

    SchoolMessenger is compliant with the Student Privacy PledgeTM, so you can rest assured that your information is safe and will never be given or sold to anyone.

    **The SMS phone (cell phone) number must be on file in our Student Information System (SIS). You can update this information through your parent portal.**
