Today, our 3rd and 4th graders enjoyed a special performance of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus at the Hastings Performing Arts Center. This wonderful opportunity was made possible through the generous support of the DeCamp Foundation, who provided the event free of charge. What a treat for our students!

As we await finalization of the state budget, we want to provide clarity for our families regarding school breakfast and lunch. Following recent action by our Board of Education, we are pleased to share that, regardless of state-level decisions, our district will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch for all students through December 2025.
Further information about meal program plans beyond that date will be communicated as it becomes available.
We value the importance of ensuring every student has access to these nutritious meals, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue offering this support to our school community.

Our young students are not only learning in the classroom, they’re also learning the rules of the road when they ride a Hastings school bus. Our amazing drivers have been visiting school buildings to give bus safety presentations, helping students understand how to travel safely while keeping the ride fun. Thanks to their efforts, our kids are better prepared to get to and from school with confidence. Thank you, bus drivers!
