Early Release on Friday, October 20, Non-School Day on Monday, October 23; Trick or Treat on Thursday, October 26; No School for GSRP and Half Day Preschool on November 20-21; ECC Newsletter; Be Strong Families Parent Cafe on Wednesday, October 18

Early Release on Friday, October 20

Our next Early Release Friday is scheduled for Friday, October 20.  PK-5th grade students will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m. The Full Day preschool classrooms will remain open for their regular hours, 6:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. 

If your child normally uses after school care on Friday afternoons, your child is automatically enrolled to attend care on all Early Release Fridays, unless other arrangements have been made.

There will be a one-time Early Release charge to cover all Early Release Fridays for the 2023/2024 school year.  Watch for this one-time charge on your tuition statement in late October.  Please note that if Friday after school care is part of your normal schedule, charges are incurred regardless of attendance.

Non-School Day, Monday, October 23

Our first scheduled non-school day is coming up on Monday, October 23!   Full day preschool and the before/after school programs will be open at the Early Childhood Center only from 7:45 a.m.-5:00 p.m.  All other programs are closed.

A "non-school day" is a scheduled day off for the district, including teacher trainings, holiday breaks, winter break, and spring break.  An unexpected "non-school day" could occur for a snow day or fog-related delay.  Information relating to unexpected non-school days will be included in the Hudsonville Public School closing information, the Early Childhood parent blog, and WOTV 8.

To view what programs are open/closed on non-school days, please review our Non-School Day Notes.  The programs that remain open on non-school days will provide care at the Early Childhood Center only, with programming starting at 7:45 a.m.

Please also review the Non-School Day Notes for tuition-related questions regarding attendance on non-school days.  There is a $50.00 charge for the before/after school students to attend on a non-school day, and your account will be charged the difference of $50.00 and your normal daily rate.

Important:  There is a charge for hot lunch on non-school days of $2.50 per child. 

Trick or Treat

The annual outdoor trick or treat night is coming up!  Join us on Thursday, October 26, from 6:00-7:00 p.m.  Donations of candy or small prizes can be dropped off in the ECC office.
