Welcome to Holland Heights

• MONDAY: Comfy Day
• TUESDAY: Hat Day
• WEDNESDAY: SuperHero Day
• THURSDAY: Sports Jersey Day
• FRIDAY: Red & White Day

As you know, every HPS student gets a breakfast and a lunch at no-cost this year! 

HOWEVER, when students need a milk to go along with a sack breakfast/lunch brought from home, that milk will cost the student .75 cents. (State funding allows us to provide full meals at no cost to students, but does not pay for à la carte menu items for students.)

If your student wants an à la carte milk to go along with a sack breakfast/lunch, please be sure add funds to their student account, or bring exact change.

If you have any questions or concerns, or need help with the account, please contact our Nutrition Services Department at 616.494.2245. Thank you for understanding!

Holland Hospital is excited to invite all students, families, friends and faculty to participate in the 2024 School Nurse Fun Run on Thu, Sep 19 at Holland West Elementary School. 

Students can enter the Fun Run for FREE by making a goal to improve their health! It can be a physical challenge, change in their eating habits or starting a wellness activity.

I am excited for the start of the 2024-25 school year!!!  As you all know we are currently doing school at Longfellow, since our school is in the process of some amazing new construction.  Things will be a little different as far as the building goes, but the same great learning and behavior expectations will continue for all of us at Longfellow.  Don't forget that we will also be starting school at 8:15am and ending at 3:21pm which is 15 minutes earlier than last year.  All Wednesday's are still early release days and that ends at 2:21 PM.  

Most of you will have access to busing, so make sure to check the parent portal to see what time and where your child will be picked up and dropped off every day.  I am going to strongly suggest that at the end of the day you have your child ride the bus home, since our location at Longfellow isn't the best for a lot of cars waiting to pick up kids from school. It will be busy at the end of the day, so if you must pick up your child, please be patient and expect to wait a little.  

Open House is Tuesday Aug. 20 from 4-6 PM so we hope to see you there to walk the building and meet your teacher!!!  

Enjoy these last few days of summer break and we will see you soon!!!

For the 2024-25 school year, HPS will once again be participating in the Michigan School Meals Program.

In order to help our transportation department get students to and from school safely and on time, we will stagger start and dismissal times at our elementary schools during the 2024-2025 school year.  Please notice the time changes at HLA and Holland Heights.

We are excited to announce that beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, Holland Public Schools will be 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.

There's not much left standing at Holland Heights.  We're making way for a beautiful new school designed for Outdoor Learning!  

• Watch us grow...and get enrolled before our new facility opens in 2026.

During construction, students will attend Longfellow Elementary at State & 24th.
