We’re excited about the strong interest in our free preschool program, the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP)!
The State of Michigan is currently developing a new online registration system for GSRP. As soon as the new system is in place, we will begin accepting registrations for preschool students at Hastings Area School System. We will share an announcement immediately once registration opens, along with step-by-step instructions on how to enroll.
Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm as you prepare to begin your child’s learning journey with us. We can’t wait to welcome our youngest learners to Hastings Area Schools for the 2026-27 year!

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.

The Power of Reading!






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!

Many of our elementary students helped us celebrate a big milestone across Hastings Area Schools: the 100th day of school!
They came to school with some fun and creative outfits. What a fun way to mark 100 days of learning!
