- 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 will host the annual Registration & Enrollment Block Party on May 21. This week, we talk with HHS Community Coordinator Tyler Mouw about it.
