Tomorrow is the first day of the 2025–26 school year! We’re excited to welcome our students back into our buildings and kick off another year of learning and growth.

The year will go by quickly — be sure to keep track of important dates with our school calendar. We’ll see you tomorrow!

Our teachers had an incredible professional development experience this morning, thanks to a powerful session led by Jake Daggett.

With years of experience teaching elementary students and now serving as a Foundational Literacy Director in Milwaukee, Jake brought a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. As a global literacy consultant and prominent voice on social media, Jake shared impactful insights that left our team energized and motivated.

Thank you, Jake, for sharing your passion and expertise with us!

Welcome back, teachers and staff! We kicked off the year with a district-wide assembly at the Hastings Performing Arts Center, then headed back to our buildings to prepare for the year ahead. We can’t wait to welcome our students back soon.

It's back-to-school for our office personnel. All school offices are now open from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and available to assist you.

School’s just around the corner! Students return on August 18, and preschoolers start September 2.

To help everyone get ready, we’re hosting open house events at each school on Wednesday, August 13. It’s a great chance for students to meet staff, tour the building, and get the inside scoop on what to expect this year.

Check out the schedule below and make plans to stop in.

Some parts of our school might look a little unrecognizable right now, but that’s quickly changing! This summer, we’re installing larger, more energy-efficient windows throughout the building and giving several bathrooms a complete renovation. These upgrades will make a big difference, creating a more welcoming and comfortable space for both students and staff to learn and work in!

Some hallways at Hastings Middle School were buzzing yesterday — literally! A few of the students attending Elementary Coding Camp spent the morning flying drones through the halls while others dove deeper into learning the basics of coding. A great mix of hands-on fun and future-ready skills!
