We have another group of VERY deserving students who were given the Young Citizenship Award by the Hastings Kiwanis Club for the month of March. Great job, everyone!
We'll see you on Monday!
The students at Hastings Central Elementary worked so hard on their reading all throughout March Is Reading Month, and they definitely earned a celebration!
To wrap it all up, the school hosted a super fun Masked Dancer and Glow Assembly.
Students had a blast trying to guess which teachers were busting moves in disguise. They finished the assembly with a glow-tastic dance party of their own. The perfect ending to a month full of reading, learning, and lots of smiles!

Saxons have each other’s backs! 💙
In anticipation of state testing (i.e. M-STEP, PSAT, etc.), students of all ages across our district took time to write letters of encouragement to one another. Every student will receive uplifting words from a fellow Saxon, reminding them they are supported and ready to succeed.
Good luck...you’ve got this!

It’s always special when our older students have the opportunity to give back and support younger learners. This semester, 8th graders in Mr. Renner’s Innovation and Design class took on the exciting project of building 3D printers.
Jackson, Davis, Karter and Kenna assembled the printers from kits, calibrating them, troubleshooting issues, and learning how all of the mechanical and electronic components come together. And the best part is that these printers will be given to our elementary schools here in Hastings.
This project was made possible through the generosity of the Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda Foundation, which provided funding through the 2025–26 CISD Mini Grant Program. Hastings Area School System received four mini grants, which helped purchase the Prusa CORE One+ kits used in the project.
A big thank you to William Renner, Jessica Fleis, Julie Carlson, and Elizabeth Macklin for their work in securing these grants and helping make this opportunity possible for our students.

We’re excited about the strong interest in our free preschool program, the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP)!

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.
