Weekly Newsletter- Week of August 25th
Newsletter Items
We had an AMAZING first week of school! Thank you for your help and support to make it a success! Attached is the weekly newsletter. Read it to find out important details and dates at HMS.
Your Admin Team:
I'd like to introduce the HMS Admin Team.
Principal: Rene Bair, Assistant Principal: Kyle Kreps, and Dean of Students: Rick Harris
Please let us know how we can assist!
IMPORTANT DATES
There is NO SCHOOL this Friday, August 29, or next Monday, September 1.
MAP testing will take place Tuesday, September 9(Reading) and Thursday, September 11 (Math). Students will test in their advisory classes. It is extremely important that students be present and on time to school on both days. You can help set your student up for success by ensuring they get a good night’s sleep the night before and eat a healthy breakfast before school.
GENERAL INFO
FREE LUNCH- Please sign up! Our goal is to get all HMS students signed up. Your student will get a sweet treat by Friday September 5th. FREE LUNCH SIGN UP
Chromebooks- Students will receive their chromebooks Monday. They will leave these at school daily, unless they check it out from their 7th hour teacher. It is their responsibility to bring it back charged.
Lockers- We allow students to have backpacks during the day. We will allow students to sign up for a locker starting Q2. This is so students can focus on getting to class on time and not another location. Athletes do have lockers in the gym.
Information on drop-off times: School begins promptly at 7:30 a.m. Students should be dropped off in front no earlier than 7:00 a.m. Doors will open at 7:00 a.m.
Important notice regarding food deliveries: The use of food delivery services, including but not limited to DoorDash, GrubHub, UberEats, restaurant delivery, etc., is not permitted by students or parents during the school day. If necessary, parents may personally drop off lunch to the main office during the designated lunch period.
A reminder about attendance: Regular school attendance matters! Research has shown that students who miss more than 10% of school days are at a higher risk of lower grades in high school and college, and an increased chance of high school dropout. Parents/guardians, help your student succeed by helping them to establish a morning “get ready” routine, come up with a “plan B” for transportation if your student misses the bus, and if your student is sick, call school and provide a doctor’s note if possible so their absence can be excused.
Contacting Teachers - Use the staff directory to help contact your student's teachers. You can also email directly from the Parent Portal Staff Directory

Completing the Education Benefits Form is a key step to unlocking essential support for all HPS students. Federal & state resources are allocated based on the income data collected through this form. Without this data the district could lose out on critical funding.
Holland Public Schools is implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Bus Expectations across our district's transportation services. This initiative aims to create a safe, respectful, and responsible environment for all students who utilize our school buses.
