2026-27 Student Registration

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.

It doesn't take long to update this information in your Parent Portal account - but it is so important that you do it very soon!

      This year we have had an enormous amount of success with National History Day (NHD) at Holland Middle School. For those that are not familiar, NHD is an international history competition that starts in schools around the world and culminates with a final competition that bears the name National History Day. Holland Middle School has had a long tradition of success in NHD with students each year reaching the state and national competitions. This year, four HMS students will be representing HPS with three projects that they have been working on since November. These students will be heading to Washington DC for NHD in early June! Our goal is to show them continued support and break down the financial barriers of the trip to College Park, MD, with help from our community. "Are you smarter than an 8th grader?" Trivia Night at HMS on May 21 from 6-8 pm promises a fun night of learning, laughter and community building. We would love for you and three additional team members to test your knowledge about everything and nothing at the same time.
