Message from the Principal

October 31, 2025 

Dear Hope Wildcat Families, 

Autumn is here and our cooler weather makes our corner of the world so beautiful.  With the cooler weather, please remind your children to wear their warm clothing and to be prepared for our sudden changes in temperatures.  It’s helpful to write their names in their backpacks, jackets, hats and gloves, sometimes classmates have the same or similar clothing. 

Our Reading WIN (What I  need) groups are in full swing for grades 1-3 focusing on specific aspects and skills in reading for intervention or extension.  Groups are flexible and change over time as students grow and expand their phonics, comprehension, vocabulary and fluency.  Teachers will share more information in the coming weeks and during our parent teacher conferences.   

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for mid November with the evening conferences falling on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.   Families will receive a conference schedule.   

Our school values are Problem Solving, Act Safely, Wise Choices and Share your Heart. We use the acronym PAWS.  Students can earn PAWS tickets which then get placed into the classroom basket for a drawing each Friday.  The tickets are sent home each month so families can join in the celebrations of their child’s PAWS-itive behaviors.   Throughout the school year there are additional individual and school celebrations related to our school values.  Each day we teach and expect all four values; however, our focus for the first quarter was Problem Solving.  For the second quarter we will focus on Act Safely.   

Each weekend our School Office Coordinator, Jessica Fluckiger (Mrs. F to the students), emails our Wildcat Newsletter with important information,  reminders and additional flyers for opportunities in our community.  Please read it and stay informed.  

In case you are not familiar with our Parent-Teacher group, it is called PIE (Partners in Education).   Families are encouraged to get involved with them as they support many activities for our school and it’s a great way to connect with other families.    Hope PIE Facebook.

Happy Fall!

See Tell Now

Hope School and all our district’s schools will use the See Tell Now alert system to report any kind of anonymous tip regarding safety, harassment, bullying, etc. This can be accessed at: https://seetellnow.org/ or by calling 888-593-2835

School Meal Program 

It is very important for our families to fill out a free/reduced meal form either online or via a paper form that will be sent home the first day of school.  This program could possibly help offset your cost for eating meals at school, and also help provide funding to our school for important programs such as reading and math support.
