The first day of school is always special, but the “first” first day is a major milestone! 🥇
Today marked the first day of school for our PreK and kindergarten students: The future classes of 2037, 2038, and 2039. Despite some first-day nerves from students (and parents!), drop-off was filled with excitement for the days ahead. Here’s to a year of learning and play for our newest students!
Don’t forget to submit your reading log! ✍🏽 Students who tracked their summer reading time with a log are eligible to win prizes—if that log is signed by a guardian and submitted to school by Friday, September 6. One student from each grade level district-wide will be eligible to receive a tablet.
All Holyoke Public Schools students can eat breakfast and lunch for free, each and every school day 🥪🥗🌮 There’s no catch, no paperwork, and no exceptions. Under the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service’s Community Eligibility Program, all students are welcome to enjoy nutritious meals at school. Menus are posted on the district website, school homepages, and on our mobile app so students and families can plan ahead. Learn more: https://www.hps.holyoke.ma.us/page/food-services
This is a reminder that this year, all our schools will release one hour early on Wednesdays, except Opportunity Academy which will follow its regular schedule.
