Our district is finally starting to thaw, and we hope you’re enjoying the sunshine and more manageable temperatures! But this is Michigan — and we all know winter isn’t finished with us just yet.

Now’s a great time to review our weather cancellation policies and procedures so you know exactly what to expect in the event of a school cancellation or two-hour delay. Being informed helps everyone plan ahead with confidence.

This week, some of our incredible 8th grade art students helped create something special for their HMS community. They designed a “little” note addressed to all 600 HMS students, reminding each and every one of them that they make our school a better and more unique place just by being part of it.

Even more meaningful was the fact that every single HMS student’s name is handwritten on the large envelope. 💙

HMS Activity Night 2026
Wow! Everyone who organized and participated in last week’s WinterFest truly showed up in a big way. Not only did we have an incredible time, but together we raised an amazing $9,284.54 for the Lucas family to help Nolan get a diabetes service dog.

That’s huge and just another example of our school community supporting one another.

Thank you SO much to everyone who helped make this year’s WinterFest such a success!

A huge thank you to Amergy Disposal and Velo Law for their generous donations that allowed the Hastings Middle School wrestling program to purchase a scale for the team!
Having a dedicated scale helps our athletes monitor their weight safely and consistently, making practices and competitions run much more smoothly.

We are especially excited to see the continued growth of the Middle School girls' wrestling program. In just two years, we have grown from only a few girls on the team to more than 15 wrestlers, and the momentum keeps building.

Community support like this makes a real difference for our student-athletes. Thank you!
