Excited to be at West!!
Dear West Elementary Families,
It is with great excitement that I am starting the 2025-2026 school year as the new Assistant Principal at West Elementary! This is my 21st year with Holland Public Schools and my 23rd year in education. Over the years, I have taught a variety of grades, including Young 5’s, pre-school, Kindergarten, and most recently, First Grade. For the past three years, I have had the privilege of serving as the assistant principal at Jefferson Elementary, and I am now beginning my 4th year as an administrator here at West.
One of the most important assets we have at West is our amazing families! I look forward to supporting our students, staff, and families as we work together to create a safe, welcoming, and inspiring place for every child to learn and grow. Please know that my door is always open—I believe in servant leadership and am here to help in any way I can or connect you with the right person.
I am truly honored to join the West Elementary community and can’t wait to partner with you in making this a wonderful school year!
Warmly,
Jennifer Heinritz
Assistant Principal, West Elementary
