Hey, What's for Lunch?
We are thrilled to announce that thanks to the Michigan School Meals Program, EVERY child at Hemlock Public School District, pre-K through 12th grade, will now be able to enjoy a delicious and nutritious breakfast and lunch for FREE!
Not only will this amazing program lighten the load on your wallet (we all know kids can eat their way through a pantry), but it'll save you precious time in the morning.
Now, here's the nitty-gritty: Although the meals are free, we do need all our parents to fill out the new free/reduced lunch application. This data is super important as it helps secure state and federal funding for this fantastic initiative.
Here's to full bellies, vibrant minds, and the #huskietastic school year ahead!
To add funds to your student's account for a la carte items, please use the following link:
Important Meal Information for Families
All students are currently eligible to receive free breakfast and/or lunch each school day. However, if a student chooses to take milk only, it is available for $0.50.
Free Meals Continue at Hemlock Although the State of Michigan has not yet finalized its budget, Hemlock Public Schools remains focused on what matters most, our students. For now, we’ll continue providing free meals to all students while we wait for more clarity on long-term funding from the State. Thank you for standing with us as we put kids first.

Friday Night Lights just got better, meet Dallas!
As we prep lighting for future night track meets, we’re testing a supervised play zone for our elementary & middle school students—an auxiliary game at the game. Because let’s be honest: kids have always treated the pavilion like a NASCAR track, occasionally clipping the dad balancing three Diet Cokes and a nacho… and yes, splashing that puddle next to the brave mom in white pants (in October—bold choice).
Here’s the plan:
Where: Northwest of Wallace Field
Who: Elementary & middle school students
Supervision: Dallas, HHS senior (and all-around good guy)
Gear: Please don’t bring balls—we’ll provide them
Parents: We still encourage you to watch the game with your kids; this is just a helpful option
We’re learning as we go, so thanks for the grace. Brighter bulbs are literally on the way. See you under the lights!
If you are interested in participating in Winter or Spring sports, you need to sign up in FinalForms as soon as possible. Coaches are trying to put together rosters, purchase uniforms, and gain an understanding of how many students are interested to see if we will have both Varsity and JV teams.
Last week’s "Player of the Game", sponsored by Primetime Painting and Powerwashing, was a tough one. We had stand out performances by many players on both sides of the ball... so we decided to do an Offensive and a Defensive Player of the Game.
The Offensive Player of the Game was #5 Jr. WR Wyatt Launstein. Wyatt had 4 receptions for 76 yds and 8 carries for 69 yds and 2 TDs. Whenever we needed a big play, we looked to #5!
The Defensive Player of the Game was #52 Sr. DE Nathan Gohr. Nathan played with high energy and a great motor! He made some big plays that lead to some crucial stops on his way to 4.5 tackles and 1 TFL. His work at DE lead the way to one of our best defensive games. Nathan's play freed up our LBs to have great statistical nights!
New Excitement in the New Gym!
What an exciting inaugural game night it’s been in the Legend Gymnasium, as our Huskies took on St. Charles in volleyball!
So Many Firsts!
Truly impressive! Congratulations to Hemlock's girls golf program on their inaugural year, and especially to Maylin Buckley for her first-ever year of playing organized golf and finishing 17th in the D4 MHSAA state tournament. We're very proud of this Huskie!

Lets Be Healthy Huskies
A Note From Nurse Becky
We hope this message finds you well! As we move further into the school year, we want to remind families of the importance of having an up-to-date medication authorization form on file for any student who may need medication during the school day.
If your child requires an EpiPen, inhaler, or any other prescribed or over-the-counter medication while at school, we must have the proper documentation completed and signed by both a parent/guardian and the child’s healthcare provider. This ensures we can safely and promptly assist your student in the event of a medical need.
Please note that medications cannot be given at school without a current medication form on file. This includes carrying or self-administering inhalers, EpiPens, or any other type of emergency medication.
Medication forms are available in the school office or can be downloaded from our district website. If you need assistance completing the form or have any questions about your child’s health plan, please don’t hesitate to contact our school nurse.
Thank you for helping us keep all students safe and healthy at school!
