Karinna Martinez Documentary Earns Award from C-SPAN

Dutch Theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz runs May 1-4 at the HHS PAC. This week, we talk with cast members Sophia Palmateer and Hailey Huggett.

• LISTEN NOW!

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.

We’ll celebrate new students and families to Holland Public Schools and offer assistance to complete online registration and enrollment.

Wednesday, May 21, 5-6:30pm at Holland Middle School

• FREE Ice Cream from The Polar Patrol.
• FREE Summer Goodie Bag, book giveaways, and fun summer learning activities!
• The Ottawa County Health Dept will be there giving the required Vision & Hearing screenings for Kindergarten Enrollment.  (Please make an appointment for limited availability)
• Current HPS families who are registered for 2025-26 by May 21 will be entered into a drawing for $100 Meijer gift cards!
