Star Elementary School offers quality educational experiences in a relaxing, rural setting. While still part of the Hastings Area School District, this elementary school is situated south of Hastings in a sparsely populated area. This location distinguishes Star Elementary from other school options closer to downtown Hastings.
Students in kindergarten through fifth grade enjoy field trips to Lake Michigan, the State Capitol and nearby Pennock Hospital. Other events include spirit days, a walking club, book fairs and a winter carnival. These entertaining and enriching activities offer students leadership opportunities. Some activities include the whole school, while others are available for smaller groups of students to dive deeper into what interests them.
Parents can volunteer in the Parent Teacher Organization and help organize the annual winter carnival, assist with the birthday club or be a part of the Watch D.O.G.S. program. This program trains father figures to interact with and inspire students.
Take a step away from city life at Star Elementary School. This rural addition to the Hastings Area School District provides state-of-the-art educational technologies, experienced teachers and a supportive community to help children succeed.
