Congratulations to Mrs. Curtiss on her retirement! She looks forward to spending more time with her family, fishing and traveling with her missionary work. We will miss her smiling face and bright cheery attitude. She misses being able to say goodbye in person to all of her students and wishes them all the best next year. Her email curtiss@ hemlockps.com is still active if you would like to drop her a note.

So...here's the plan: we are putting together awards and yearbooks in mailers and will begin sending those out during the week of June 8. Look for these items in the mail after that date. And thank you to all of our students for sticking together with us during the last 12 weeks of the school year! Your determination and willingness to adapt has been inspiring!

Parents and students--Hard to believe, but we are wrapping up the year next week and we're ready for a Huskie round up! It's time to return Chromebooks & chargers, textbooks, library books, etc. It's also time to bring some closure to this most unusual year and we want to see you off to summer vacation in person. So...all items belonging to the school can be returned on Thursday evening, June 4 between 6-7 PM or Friday, June 5, between 10 AM and 2 PM. All you need to do is drive up to our front doors, stop at the curb, stay in your vehicle, and be ready to hand off your items to a staff member--several of us will be there to take care of you and to see you off for the summer. If neither of those options work for you, we can schedule a visit at a different time. Contact Mr. Keyser at keyser@hemlockps.com if necessary. Those who would need to keep their Chromebooks to complete summer school classes will have a different collection time.

Education the way you want it! We at Hemlock Public School District are here to serve our students, families, and community. COVID-19 is temporary, but will likely have lasting implications for education for years to come. As we start preparing for fall 2020, everyone is dealing with this situation differently and has different expectations. More than ever, we are ready to provide the type of education and environment that you want for your children. As a school district, we are prepared to provide face-to-face instruction, remote learning, or a hybrid model next fall. If you would like more information, a phone call, or to enroll, please call us at (989) 642-5282 or email gronski@hemlockps.com.

What a beautiful day! Gladiolas are in bloom at HMS as we enter this last week of school. Remember the Chromebook/charger/book return Thursday 6-7 and Friday 10-2. Drive in on Maple Street and circle the front parking lot, stopping at the curb until a staff member approaches your can so you can identify yourself and place your items in the box they present to you. Please stay in your car so we keep everyone safe. Thanks!

Honors and Awards and yearbooks are coming! Two of the things that are always integral to the end of a school year are: 1) honoring our students who have gone above and beyond in some way and excelled in their learning and their efforts and 2) passing out yearbooks. We do not want to miss this opportunity to honor those students or to make sure everyone who ordered a yearbook gets theirs. So...here's the plan: we are putting together awards and yearbooks in mailers and will begin sending those out during the week of June 8. Look for these items in the mail after that date. And thank you to all of our students for sticking together with us during the last 12 weeks of the school year! Your determination and willingness to adapt has been inspiring!
