Following updates to more efficient heating units and control systems in HPS facilities, we earned a $59,579.80 rebate from SEMCO Energy!

The rebates are the result of 2 years of collecting data and a reduction in energy costs.

• A huge thank you to Darick Lalonde, Director of Maintenance of Grounds and his team for their hard work and responsible use of district resources.

Starting in January, Holland Public Schools will have an exciting opportunity to offer preschool programming to families in our community who have children turning 3-years-old on or before December 1st, 2024. 

• Children will be enrolled in our current preschool classrooms at HLA, West and Jefferson. 
• Full days 
• 5 Days/Week
• Spots will be limited!

16 varsity teams and 12 JV teams competed in the the 18th Annual event.  

• The Varsity A team of Adam Alderson, Alan Juarez, Eleanor McMullen, and Ben Rund-Scott finished in 6th place.  
• The Varsity B team of Landen Butch, Wilson Lin, Mia Rodriguez, and Harper Schoon-Tanis finished in 10th.  
• The JV team of Sam Huizinga, Chanelle Jackson, Chris Logan, Kimia McMullen, and ME Tanis finished in 4th in their group.

The DNA will be in action again on December 7 when they travel to Kalamazoo for the Swim N Win Invitational

Holland Public Schools is excited to be using the My Ride K-12 app!

This app will let parents:

• Use their phone to follow your student’s bus in real time.
• See estimated arrival times of the bus to the bus stop.
• Check for bus information.
• Receive updates on their phone about any changes in daily bus routes.

We hope parents of all K-5 bus riders will download and use the app.
