As we come to the end of another remarkable school year, I want to take a moment to extend my gratitude to each and every one of you for making this year such a fantastic success. Your unwavering support and dedication have been instrumental in creating a positive and enriching environment for our children.

I am incredibly proud of our Holbrook staff. Their hard work, passion, and commitment to excellence have been truly inspiring. Together, we have achieved significant milestones, and it is through the collaborative efforts of our entire school community—students, parents, teachers, and staff—that we have been able to make this year so successful.

Thank you for your teamwork and for being such an integral part of the Holbrook family. Your involvement and support have made a real difference in the lives of our students, and I deeply appreciate all that you have done.

As we head into the summer break, I wish you all a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable time with your loved ones. May this summer be filled with wonderful memories and well-deserved rest.

Thank you once again for a fantastic school year. I look forward to seeing you all in the fall, ready to embark on another exciting year of learning and growth.

Dr. Bill Albrecht, Principal

It has been a wonderful year of sharing books and stories with your children!  There are many opportunities and resources to keep your child engaged and reading throughout the summer.  Both the Grand Ledge District Library and the Delta Township Library, along with Barnes &  Noble, have summer reading programs.  These programs offer prize incentives for reading, and some hold drawings for larger prizes later in the summer.  You can also utilize the Holbrook Little Lending Library in front of the school - take a book to read and/or leave a book for others to enjoy. Reading is also a great activity for rainy days and long car rides!  Enjoy your summer break, and KEEP READING!

Student Drop Off/Pick Up
When dropping off your child in the drop off line, please make sure your student is able to exit the vehicle themselves with their belongings, otherwise please park and walk them to the crosswalk.

Late Arrivals
If your student is going to be late and needs school lunch, you must call the office by 9:15am to order lunch for them.

Medication Drop Off
If your student will require medication during the school day, you will need to provide the proper paperwork.  All medications must be turned into the office by an adult.  This includes over the counter medications, any ointments, and cough drops.  Medical paperwork can be found on the district website under Parent Resources Medical Paperwork

Blessings in a Backpack
If your student needs additional food at home, the Grand Ledge Blessings in a Backpack program is here. For over a decade, this program has provided bags of food for weekend meals at no cost to hundreds of students in the Grand Ledge area. For students attending school in-person, a bag of nourishing, kid-friendly food will be placed discretely in their backpack or locker at the end of each week during the school year (except during school breaks). Examples of some of the food items distributed are: macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables, soup, oatmeal, granola bars, fruit cups, and beef ravioli. If you would like your student to participate in the program, please fill out the permission form that went home or request one from the office. Return the form to the school office by Wednesday, September 13th, for your student to receive the first bag on September 21st.

Lost and Found
The lost and found is located near the gym in playground vestibule. If your student is missing something, please have them check the lost and found. Labeling clothing/items will also help us to return things to students.

Need Shoes or Boots?
The Old Newsboys Association of Greater Lansing is a nonprofit charitable organization whose sole purpose is to provide footwear to needy school children. This includes well fitting school shoes, warm boots and socks. For, assistance and to obtain a request for footwear form, please contact our office (hirschmana@glcomets.net).

Illness Reminders
We ask that your child be 24 hours free of fever (without fever reducing medications), vomiting or diarrhea before you send them back to school after they have been out sick.  We appreciate your cooperation with this!

Covid Reporting
To report a positive Covid case, please complete the Covid Reporting Form.

Change of Clothes
Please send in a change of clothing with your student to be left in their locker. Students have spills during lunch or get muddy/wet on the playground. The office supply of clothing is very limited and students are often more comfortable in their own clothing.

Student Birthday Treat Policy
Student birthday treat policy will be up to each individual classroom teacher. Communicate clearly and often with your student’s families regarding your specific policy so they know your expectations. Keep in mind that not all students celebrate birthdays, and not all birthdays are positive for students. Also be sure to be mindful of allergies. Food must be store bought & prepackaged. Encourage healthy snacks at all times.

Raptor Visitor Management System Starting
Grand Ledge Public Schools will continue using the Raptor Visitor Management System to enhance the safety of our school buildings. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen school visitors, providing a safer environment for our students and staff.  School visitors will be screened during the school day before being allowed to leave the main office and enter the school building. School visitors will be asked to present a valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license), and it will be scanned or manually entered into the Raptor system. Once entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of the visit. A visitor’s badge will not be necessary to drop off an item in the main office or to pick up paperwork from there.

Volunteering & Chaperoning
Persons wishing to volunteer for Grand Ledge Public Schools are required to complete the Volunteer Registration Form and be approved prior to serving as a volunteer.  All volunteers MUST check in at the office to receive a BADGE prior to proceeding to any other area on school property.  Please visit District Volunteer Application to complete the process.
