Welcome to Holland Language Academy

Tulips are blooming and end-of-year planning is underway. Talent Show, Spring Concert, and more, all signs that summer is near! While the excitement is building, we still have important learning ahead, and we need your partnership to finish strong.

Please continue to read, read, read at home each day. As you read with your child, ask questions like: Who is the main character? Looking at the title, what do you think will happen? Can you retell the story, what happened first, then, and finally? These small moments make a big difference in growing strong readers.

Thank you for your continued support in this important, challenging, and rewarding work!

As part of our district’s ongoing efforts to create a safe, welcoming, and supportive learning environment for all students, your child will be invited to take a Social Emotional Learning Survey April 27-May 8.

• The results of the survey will help our staff strengthen programs and support that increase our learner’s awareness and competency with social emotional skills.
• Results of the survey will be published in late May on the district website.

Connor Fowler is the latest HPS Teacher to receive a Teachers Live Here grant. He was awarded $27,300 in down payment assistance toward the purchase of a home in the area.

As we prepare for the start of the next school year, it's time to register your student for 2026-27. This is something we ask ALL current HPS families to do EVERY year. Completing the registration lets us know:

• Your student(s) will be returning next year!
• Your household contact information is up to date
• Your student health information is up to date
• if you are requesting transportation for the 2026-2027 school year (Deadline to request bussing is August 1.)

Without this information, your student can not be added to a class list for next year OR have a class schedule created for them.
