We are just days away from Spring Break! There will be no Red Note during this time, our next issue will be published on Sunday, April 12.
Over the break, we encourage you to continue supporting your child’s learning by reading together, practicing math, and exploring learning beyond the classroom.
As we wrap up March is Reading Month next week, please be sure to read the information below so you don’t miss any of the fun activities!

Holland Public Schools is implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Bus Expectations across our district's transportation services. This initiative aims to create a safe, respectful, and responsible environment for all students who utilize our school buses.
Pre-K Farm School
In partnership with the Critter Barn, Holland Public School is now offering Pre-K Farm School.
- 4-year-old students will travel to the Critter Barn each week for lessons about life on the Farm.
- Lessons they learn at the farm will help teach students about Math and Reading.
- Develop and nurture each child's academic, social, emotional, and creative abilities.
- Students will build friendships and experience caring teachers.
There are limited openings in the 25-26 HPS Pre-K Farm School.
West - Back to School Message
We are excited to welcome you back for another great year at Holland West! You will see that we are entering into our 1st year of a complete remodel at West. The east wing of the building will be under construction in the 1st phase and shouldn’t interfere much with our daily operations. However, we will be cozy at the other side of the building with every classroom and office now in use.
A Back To School Message From Superintendent Cassidy
We’re excited for another great school year at Holland Public Schools—full of learning, connection, and opportunities for every student.
Welcome Back to Holland Heights!
We are excited to see you all back for another great year at Holland Heights @Longfellow. We are here at Longfellow for one more year before we go back to our “HOME” up in the Heights as construction will be completed next spring. The new building is looking great and we are excited to get there next year!!
