District Administrator Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I trust this message finds you and your families in good health and high spirits. As we reach the midpoint of the academic year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our collective achievements and share some important updates.
Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for your ongoing support and collaboration. The partnership between parents, guardians, and the school is essential for the success of our students, and your commitment does not go unnoticed. Together, we are creating an environment where every child can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
Our dedicated educators and staff have been working tirelessly to provide a nurturing and stimulating learning atmosphere. Their unwavering commitment to your children's education remains a driving force in the accomplishments we have seen as a district.
Now, let's celebrate the achievements and progress made by our students thus far. Their resilience and determination have shone through in various aspects of their academic and extracurricular pursuits. We are proud of their growth and development and look forward to seeing their continued success in the coming months.
As we move forward, communication between home and school remains crucial. If you have any concerns, questions, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers, school counselors, or the administrative team. We value your input and are here to support you and your child on this educational journey.
Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. Together, we are shaping a bright future for each and every student in our district.
Wishing you continued success and a fulfilling remainder of the school year.

District Donation Recognitions
At our January Board meeting, the school board recognized donations that support both our community and students. Ayden W., a 7th grader at Richfield Middle School, along with his family, donated hundreds of brand new personal care items just before the holidays. Items were sorted and distributed to families in need throughout Washington County, with the help of Threshold and Family Promise in West Bend.
Anonymous donations were also made to the 4th grade girls and boys basketball programs at Friess Lake Elementary. New uniforms with screen printing have our athletes competing in style!
We're proud and thankful for donations that will certainly be put to good use within our school as well as impacting our community at-large!

Updates from Our Pupil Services Department
Open Enrollment for the 2024-2025 School Year
The Public school open enrollment program in Wisconsin allows parents to apply for their children to attend a public school in a school district other than the one in which they reside. The regular open enrollment application period for the 2024-2025 school year begins on February 5, 2024, and ends at 4:00 pm on April 30, 2024. The best way to apply is online. The online application is available at https://dpi.wi.gov/open-enrollment during the application period.
The Holy Hill Area School District will review all Open Enrollment applications received during the application period and approve applications within grade levels that have approved open seat availability. These decisions are based on the Holy Hill Area School Board approved number of seats available as determined at the January 15, 2024 school board meeting for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year.
Updates from Our PTO - H.H.O.P.S.
Attention HHASD Families!
HHOPS is requesting donations for the Celebrate Families virtual auction held in April. If your family has any interest in donating a basket or item to auction off, we would welcome the contribution! Or perhaps your employer would be willing to donate. We are hoping for a great offering this year so we can beat last year's fundraising goal! Proceeds raised will go towards the purchase of new playground equipment at FLES. All donations are tax deductible! If you have any questions, please email hhopsworks@gmail.com.
As always, thank you for supporting your district PTO!
Here Comes the Bus Is Here!
Holy Hill Area School District (HHASD), in conjunction with Riteway Bus Company, launched an innovative mobile device app and website entitled, Here Comes the Bus® on January 3, 2024. This app and website allows you to view the real-time location of your child’s school bus on your smartphone, tablet or computer.
School Closures & Skylert Messaging Update
We saw our first significant snowfall and resulting school closures this past month. In addition to school closures listed on local media stations (Hartford Area School Weather Letter), HHASD will use Skylert to alert families by email, phone, and text message. Phone and email messages are sent using current contact information included in Skyward. If you need to update that information, please contact your child’s school.
Text messaging is an opt-in function that you complete by logging into your Skyward Family Access account. Contact numbers can be added at the bottom of the Skylert menu tab found on the left side of your screen.
School closures will also be added to the district Facebook page and an Announcement Banner at the top of all district website pages.
