Dear Hudsonville Families,

As we approach the end of another school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the incredible support you've shown throughout the past year. Your partnership has made a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, and I'm continually inspired by the strength of this community and the shared commitment we all have to education.

It has been a year full of growth, learning, and connection. From our youngest learners taking their first steps in the classroom to our seniors preparing to step into the next chapter of their lives, there's so much to celebrate. In just a few days, we'll gather in our fieldhouse to honor the graduating Class of 2025—a remarkable group of students who have demonstrated perseverance, leadership, and heart. We are proud of each of them and look forward to all they will accomplish beyond Hudsonville.

This summer, we are putting the finishing touches on the final project from our 2019 bond. All major construction work across the district will officially be wrapped up after a few final projects are expected to be completed by early fall. We're incredibly grateful for the community's investment, which has helped us create modern, student-centered spaces that will serve Hudsonville learners for years to come.

I also want to thank our community for the overwhelming support of the Ottawa County Special Education proposal earlier this month. Your vote helps ensure we can continue providing high-quality educational opportunities for all students. That kind of support doesn't just sustain our programming—it uplifts them.

While summer is a time to rest and recharge, I encourage families to stay engaged in learning through reading, discovery, and meaningful time together. Whether exploring a local park, working on a creative project, or simply enjoying a good book, these moments can make a lasting impact.

As always, the district office remains open and available to assist with any questions you may have over the summer months. The 2025–26 school year will begin on Wednesday, August 20, and our calendar is available on the district website to help with planning.

Thank you for your trust, involvement, and commitment to Hudsonville Public Schools' success. It is an honor to serve this community, and I look forward to the continued journey ahead.

Wishing you and your family a restful, joyful, and safe summer.

Warm regards,

Dr. VanderJagt
