if you're considering coming to Hastings area
schools for your family and your students
would love to tell you about it there is
very much something called and pride
yes if you
haven't heard it's a great day to be a Saxon
you haven't been in Hastings long I
think the value of Hastings
is one of a very hard-working
Community give
me this feels like a larger town but it's still
that good Hometown fuel
I felt welcome
here even though I I was not
born and raised anywhere near here everybody
especially
in the Fine Arts community
they know about the Hastings Performing
Arts Center from Earth
all the way through
is amazing are
kindergarten program is second to
none in darkness so important cuz it's the foundation
we have a young kindergarten in a kindergarten
program that had been programmed
for I am amazed
they come out at the end of the school year and the guidance
of these teachers have given me we take great pride in
a meeting kids where
they're at they come to school and some
of them know very little since they're so
excited to learn first letter of their name before
write the name and now we're eating
and we're writing stories and they love
school but
I would like parents to know is that a
school is more than bricks-and-mortar the
kindergarten program here is amazing
cuz of the teachers are very connected
they feel like these children
are theirs they raise them like their
own I think it really boils down to the teachers and
the leadership I can't say if you know
they're doing the specific thing in the classroom that's
peanut butter it's honestly the teachers and it's who's
here which is that Community aspect right
now we have stuff in a Winger with a class full of
little young 5 then they
give her a run for her money every day every
day and she loves that stuff it was a smile on
they just are so
warm and loving and my son has a super
sensitive heart and soul when he has days that
he's feeling rough I feel like the teachers just
come in our compassionate those
teachers
so much about whether your kid is is
getting it I remember my
teacher Mrs Waller and
she was really nice
we have a good kindergarten
team we work well together
for school even though we're spread out across the district
we always come together we meet outside of
school hours we work very collaboratively
with Administration and teachers with
even programs as they switch from elementary
to middle school and how those
transition will be seamless and we're constantly
trying to help the upper L
teachers that are giving them stuff and
what can we do better to help prepare those
kids we are a mtss
to a multi-tiered system of support
I'm school that we have built within the
last few years send home
newsletters bi-weekly talking
about the happenings in our classroom I know it's
not all about scores but we have great
endurance course by the time they are
ready to go in the first grade Arcana Garner's
are reading for the time January
rolled around 2 when all the pieces come together and
everybody comes together for the benefit of my child
I feel amazing to know that I have 14
minutes are
my dream for the future of the
education of Hastings is to continue
to keep students first everything
about kids is our future they make the world
go round so we're going to do our best to do what
we can for them to continue to make hasty
set destination for students and families across
Michigan
so if there are parents
I'm in the area that are considering Hastings tresaderm
wondering about the differences in curriculum
between us and maybe other neighbouring District
call us come visit
us and we will will
meet with you I'm and welcome me with open arms
