Dear Hudsonville Community,

It is hard to believe we are already wrapping up September. The weather may still be hanging on to summer, but we all know those cooler fall temps are just around the corner. As we celebrate finishing our first month of the school year, I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting updates and express my gratitude for the fantastic start we've had.

First up, our construction projects are making significant strides! Park Elementary's new gym is now a reality, and half of the interior classrooms are already complete, with the other half well on their way. Most of our 2019 bond projects are also nearing completion, and we are overjoyed that our students are benefiting from these beautiful facilities. This progress is a testament to your unwavering support and the hard work of our team. These upgrades will provide our students with exceptional spaces to learn and grow, and we couldn't have done it without you.

Speaking of students, I'm so happy to report that they've settled back into their routines like pros. The smiles, the friendships, and the excitement of learning are all in full swing. And it's not just happening in the classrooms—our sports teams have hit the ground running with great energy and sportsmanship. Whether on the field, court, pool, or course, our student-athletes proudly represent our district. And let's not forget our fine arts students, who are making significant strides in the classroom and their competitions. I encourage everyone to come out and cheer on our kids—whether it's a game or a performance, they're giving it their all!

Our staff is outstanding, as always. They've been fully engaged in professional development and continuously work to bring their best to the classroom. Their dedication is truly what helps set our students up for success.

As we delve deeper into the school year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to you—our incredible community. Your unwavering support and active involvement in our schools make a world of difference. Whether attending a parent-teacher conference, volunteering, or attending school events, your presence creates the nurturing environment our students need to thrive. Thank you for being such an integral part of our school community.

I am genuinely thrilled about the promising year ahead. Together, we are shaping a year filled with learning, growth, and success for all our students. The possibilities are endless, and I can't wait to see what we will achieve together.

Thank you for trusting us with your children's education and being a vital part of this fantastic community.

Dr. VanderJagt
