Back to School Open House

As we prepare for the start of the next school year, it's time register your student for 2024-25. 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!  It also lets you:

• Review and update household contact information
• Review and update student health information
• Request transportation for the 2024-2025 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.

Students at Holland Public Schools return to class this morning…. Earlier this week Superintendent Nick Cassidy had a chance to address teachers and staff in the district about the small schools and BIG opportunities available at Holland Public Schools in the coming school year!

This week, we're talking about "Back to School" with Superintendent Nick Cassidy.

The Power H Shop will open again to HPS families on Thursday, August 17, 4:30-6pm (Longfellow School, State and 24th) for a Back-School-Event.

• 150 Back Packs
• School Supplies
• Back-to-school Clothing
• Household Items
• Community Resource Fair

All items at the event are FREE to HPS families!

I am so excited to see students back in our buildings on Wednesday, August 23!  We have many big and exciting changes happening across the District!

In order to be included on a bus route on the first day of school, a student MUST request transportation on/before Wednesday, August 9. (Transportation requests can be made as part of a student's annual registration)

• If a transportation request is not made by the deadline, a student will not be added to a bus route until after the Labor Day holiday.
