Safety first, because we put our kids first. 🚌

As we wrap up Bus Safety Week, let’s carry these reminders with us every day. Watch for bus lights, stop when required, stay alert around bus stops, and give our students the space and care they need to get to school and home safely.

It takes all of us to keep the Huskie Pack safe. Thanks for doing your part, Hemlock.

It takes a village to serve up the best concessions this side of the Tittabawassee. 🥨

As we head into the winter sports season, the Hemlock Sports Boosters need their village to keep the good food coming and the Huskies fueled up. Whether you can help for one shift or several, every volunteer makes a difference.

Holy Mole-y! It's Mole Day at Hemlock!

Who says chemistry can't be sweet?

Today, October 23rd, we're celebrating Mole Day, and our very own Instructional Coach, Sue Messing, is making sure the occasion comes with a little something extra!

Sue has been dropping off some delicious mole cookies for our staff to enjoy, bringing a little fun, a little science, and a whole lot of sweetness to the school day.

So, what's the big deal about 10/23?

In chemistry, a mole is a unit used to count incredibly tiny particles, like atoms and molecules. Just like a dozen means 12, one mole represents a whopping 6.02 × 10²³ particles! That's 602 sextillion, for anyone keeping count!

And because scientists appreciate a good celebration, Mole Day runs from 6:02 AM to 6:02 PM on 10/23.

A big thank you to Sue for finding another creative way to celebrate learning, support our staff, and remind us that science can be pretty sweet!

Small Town, Big Opportunities... and a whole lot of moles!

Happy Mole Day, Huskie Pack!

Congratulations to our Middle School Student of the Month, Naomi Messenger.

Naomi has done an outstanding job transitioning to middle school and has already proven herself to be a wonderful leader, helper, and classmate. She consistently demonstrates what it means to be a Huskie by following middle school expectations, showing kindness to others, and being a great friend to those around her. Naomi leads by example and helps make HMS a positive and welcoming place for everyone.

We are so proud of Naomi and the example she sets for her fellow Huskies! Keep up the great work, Naomi!

College costs add up, but earning college credits while still in high school can make a big difference.

Through Hemlock’s Early Middle College (EMC) program, students can get a head start on their college education while saving thousands in potential tuition costs.

It’s an opportunity to think ahead, get more out of your high school experience, and take the next step toward your future.

Your future starts here, Huskies!

Math is better with a buddy. 🧸✏️ Whether you’re solving problems or tackling tough equations, a little extra (squishy) support never hurts.

This duo was ready to crunch some numbers at K.C. Ling Elementary.

When two little Huskies ask Ms. Liz, one of our fabulous lunch ladies, for hair nets, what does she do? She delivers!

It’s the little things (and the people who make them happen) that make Hemlock special.

Safe bus rides are a team effort! 🚌

Our Huskies can help keep everyone safe by staying seated, keeping heads, arms, and papers inside the bus, talking quietly, and keeping aisles clear of books and bags.

And don’t forget those handrails when getting on and off!

Let’s make every ride a safe one.

#ThrowbackThursday to a wacky episode of Where’s Waldo? 🔎

Back in 2022, K.C. Ling staff traded their usual looks for spectacles, candy stripes, and a whole lot of Waldo.

Now that’s a staff that knows how to make Halloween a little more fun!

Dance Moves of Champions ⚽

Is that the grocery cart? The sprinkler? The salsa?
We're not sure what these moves are called, but we're here for it. Keep pulling the sled, winning the battles, and dancing your way down the field in Ovid-Elsie tonight, Huskies.

📸 Thanks to Jamie Galbraith for these awesome shots.

School funding can be confusing.
Let’s break it down in plain English.

Join Hemlock Board of Education Trustee David Messing on Monday, October 26, at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center for an informative conversation about the November ballot, why these proposals are on the ballot, and what they mean for Hemlock Public School District.

One election. Two votes. Three things you need to know.

Bring your questions and join the conversation. We hope to see you there!

A dropped backpack, a favorite mitten, or a forgotten folder can wait. A child’s safety cannot.

🚌 Never walk behind the bus.
🚌 If something falls near the bus, tell the driver instead of trying to retrieve it.
🚌 When crossing in front of the bus, walk at least 10 feet (5 giant steps) ahead and make eye contact with the driver first.

Little reminders. Lifelong safety habits. Huskies first, always.

Great Schools. Strong Businesses. One Community.

There is something special about a community where local businesses and schools come together to share ideas, build relationships, and invest in the future.

This week, Hemlock Public School District had the pleasure of hosting the Hemlock Business Association for its monthly meeting at our new Hemlock Performing Arts Center.

The group gathered to conduct association business, network with fellow community leaders, and learn more about the school district, including the two proposals appearing on the November 3rd ballot.

A member of our Board of Education, Trustee David Messing, shared information about the proposals, district finances, and the opportunities and challenges facing our schools, followed by an opportunity for questions and conversation.

One of Hemlock's greatest strengths has always been the relationship between our schools, local businesses, and community. From the Lockwood STEM Center to our newest facilities and expanding student opportunities, those partnerships have helped turn big ideas into reality.

We are grateful to the Hemlock Business Association and its members for their continued engagement, their investment in our community, and their willingness to be part of conversations about our future.

Because when our schools, businesses, and community work together, good things happen for Hemlock.

Small Town. Big Opportunities. Hemlock Together.

There is something pretty special about watching students take ownership of a space that was built with their opportunities in mind. We can't wait to see what they bring to this stage, not just in November, but for generations to come.

Big futures begin with strong foundations. At K.C. Ling and Hemlock Elementary, Principal Cory Snider helps build those foundations every day.

As part of National Principals Month, Superintendent Dr. Don Killingbeck stopped by to personally thank Principal Snider for his leadership and commitment to our youngest Huskies, their families, and the staff who help them thrive.

The early years matter. They are where children learn to read, build friendships, tackle challenges, and discover that school is a place where they belong. Leading two elementary buildings means supporting those important moments while helping teachers do their best work and families feel connected.

Principal Snider’s impact begins with our youngest learners and carries forward through every chapter of their Hemlock education.

Please join us in thanking Principal Snider for helping our little Huskies dream big, grow strong, and get a great start.

Small town. Big opportunities. Exceptional people.

🚌 A safe bus ride starts before the bus even arrives

✔️ Arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes early.
✔️ Stand at least 6 feet (3 giant steps) away from the curb while waiting.
✔️ Make sure young children are supervised.

A few simple habits make a big difference. Let’s put our Huskies first!
