HPS is proud to provide 7-Day Meal Boxes to families in the district during the summer months.

Each box will contain a menu with food prep instructions and food items for 7 breakfasts and 7 lunches per week.

•  Thursday, June 12 through August 7, 2025

Please register your family to receive a Meal Box.  This will help us know how many meals to have ready to be picked-up.

• As we prepare for the start of the next school year, it's time register your student for 2025-26. 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 2025-2026 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.

• Register by May 21 to be in the running for a $100 Meijer gift card.

All Students have a HALF DAY on Thursday, May 8 for the Tulip Time KinderParade.

HPS is proud to award two more Teachers Live Here grants to Holland educators:

• Isabella Smith (Kindergarten at Jefferson)
• Alec Driscol (Holland Middle School)

Along with $26,500 in down payment assistance, they could also get $2,500 to assist with closing costs if they purchase a home within the school district boundaries.  

Congratulations to the Holland High School Chorus for their Division 1 Excellent Rating at MSVMA State Choral Festival on Friday - something this group hasn’t done before!
