Did you know January serves as School Board Appreciation Month? Here at HASS, we have a great one!

We want to proudly celebrate and thank our seven dedicated Board of Education members for their leadership, service, and commitment to our schools. Their time, thoughtful decision-making, and unwavering focus on what’s best for students help shape a strong future for our entire community.

Please join us in showing appreciation for their passion, perseverance, and partnership.

We’ve received some questions about whether school breakfast and lunch are free in 2026. After some initial uncertainty during the state budget talks in the fall, free meals for students did remain in place. 🍎🥪

🎄 December: POPpin’ into the Holidays

🎅 Santa loves popcorn — and so do we!
🎁 Send 50¢ tomorrow (12/18) for a warm holiday treat.
✨ Every bag supports fun winter events and student activities!

Leadership, a positive attitude, sportsmanship, and strong character — these are just a few of the traits our monthly Young Citizenship Award recipients possess. We’re proud to introduce the award winners for November 2025, presented by the Hastings Kiwanis Club.

Hastings High School's Youth in Government will give kids an opportunity for a festive night out, complete with Christmas movie and other activities. Save the date!

A recognizable face paid a visit to Southeastern Elementary and our young students were VERY EXCITED!

Santa Claus chatted with students and read "The Night Before Christmas" as he prepares for a very busy Christmas Eve night in a couple of weeks.

🎄A big thank you to the Michigan State Police officers and Michigan DNR conservation officers for making this holiday season extra special! They visited our elementary school buildings and took some deserving students out for a Shop with a Cop experience, ensuring every child gets to enjoy a merry Christmas.

🎁 This incredible program is a true testament to the generosity and dedication of our law enforcement, both during the holidays and every day of the year. We're so grateful for their continued service and for spreading holiday cheer to our students. Thank you!!
