🏴☠️THE PIRATE POST
Spitler Weekly Announcements
Week of May 24, 2026
4TH GRADE TRADE UP DAY
This Wednesday, all 4th graders and their teachers will be visiting Hart Middle School. During their visit, Principal Ackley will discuss building expectations. The 5th grade teachers will introduce homework expectations and share details about next year’s field trips. Students will also tour the cafeteria and review cafeteria procedures. Finally, Mrs. Zost will lead students on a tour of the 5th grade corridor.
REVISED HPS CALENDAR
The Michigan Legislature recently passed House Bill 5797, allowing school districts impacted by severe weather during the 2025-2026 school year to forgive up to four additional snow days. As a result, we are returning to our original last day of school schedule. The final day for students will be Tuesday, June 9th, which will be a half day for students and a PM Records Day for staff.
