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. 🍎🥪

We’re excited for Semester 2 and grateful for our amazing reading coaches who help make this work possible! 💙

Due to forecasted weather and poor driving conditions, our community daycare will open at 8 a.m., while the Hastings Community Education and Recreation Center (CERC) will be closed tomorrow (Dec. 29) morning. Morning athletic practices are also cancelled.

Decisions regarding afternoon athletic practices and CERC activities will be evaluated at noon tomorrow.

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.
