Completing the Education Benefits Form is a key step to unlocking essential support for all HPS students. Federal & state resources are allocated based on the income data collected through this form. Without this data the district could lose out on critical funding. 

Books & Games provides students with an hour of supervised reading, homework help, and games, plus a free breakfast an hour before school starts each morning.  It also gives parents/guardians an extra hour to start their day or  to get to work on time!

• Books & Games is FREE for all HPS students to attend!
• One hour before the start of school EVERY school day
• Students must be dropped off one-hour before the start of school 
• Supervision provided by HPS Staff

Greetings from the Outdoor Discovery Center!

Thanks for a wonderful first two weeks of camp! We have really enjoyed our outdoor time together. Next week’s forecast looks a bit steamy.

This week we talk with the Future Prep'd team from Holland High School and hear about the answer to their driving question: How can HPS unite the community around the success of ALL students?
