Raider Update
December 17, 2023
Message from the Superintendent
Raider Staff and Families,
This week will be an exciting one with a flurry of activities and events as we make our way to the start of winter break. As a reminder, our last day of school before break will be Friday, December 22 with our return to school date January 3, 2024. For your convenience, the entire 23/24 calendar is available here.
Last week's Raider Update was filled with survey results, winter weather preparedness and an opportunity to provide input for our 2025-2026 school calendar. If you didn't have an opportunity to provide your thoughts, please take a minute to complete the very brief survey by clicking here. Our calendar committee will be meeting in January and your input is incredibly valuable as the parameters for our 25-26 calendar are determined.
Wherever this winter break takes you, I'm hopeful that you're able to enjoy time with family and friends. Following break, we'll be excited to have everyone back in our buildings for a great start to the 2024 new year.
With Gratitude,
Dr. Tamara Champa
Superintendent

Hastings Food Service Teams Up with Dakota County Recycling Program
Hastings Food Service is thrilled to announce our new partnership with the Dakota County Recycling Program. With the help of their grants, we will purchase reusable silverware and stainless steel trays for all schools. As items are received, we will implement them in the new year. By adopting this initiative, Hastings Public Schools will reduce plastic waste and our carbon footprint. Our goal is to transform into a more eco-friendly district with this food service initiative.
