Message from the Principal

August 24, 2026 

Welcome Hope School Families, 

I wish you a warm Hope School Wildcat welcome to the 2026-27 school year.  I am tremendously grateful for our little school on the top of a hill with the incredible views all around.  Our setting provides for a safe and positive learning environment.   If you are new to us, you will quickly fall in LOVE with our school.  Just in case you don’t know much about us, we are the Wildcats and our schoolwide values are PAWS.  We Problem Solve.  We Act Safely.  We make Wise Choices and we Share our Hearts!  On Wednesdays we wear pink (or red) to remind ourselves and others to Be Kind.   Each Friday we share our school spirit by wearing green and white or other school swag with the Wildcat logo.   

New Staff

Ms. Michelle Adams will be joining our teaching team this year as the half time 5th grade Math and Science Teacher.  Mrs. Kere Delahanty will continue to teach the English Language Arts subjects to our 5th graders. 

To help you plan ahead, here are a few important dates and information 

• School Office Opens: Monday, August 24, 2026

• Back-to-School Open House: Wednesday, September 2nd from 4:00 pm  to 6:00 pm.  You can come anytime between these hours to meet your child/rens teacher, explore our school and drop off supplies.  You can also connect with our Partners in Education (PIE), which is our version of a parent teacher organization. 

• First Day of School for Grades 1–6: Tuesday, September 8th 

• First Day of School for Kindergarteners: Thursday, September 10th 

  • Kindergarten Families: Kindergarten follows a slightly different schedule during the first week. Kindergarten Screenings will  be scheduled by our Kindergarten teacher at Open house or by phone call. 

  • Meal Application Requirement: Please complete this critically important online meal application prior to Open House—even if you don’t qualify for free or reduced meals. This form helps us secure Title I funding to support reading intervention and student success. The application is used to calculate funding for several school programs which are aimed at reducing class size, funding professional development, all day kindergarten, small group instruction, classroom materials, internet services, and much more!  Complete the form HERE.

  • Ready to register? All registration information can be found HERE.

Hope School Newsletter:  The school newsletter is very informative about school events and it is emailed to families each week.  If you do not currently receive the newsletters, please contact Mrs. Fluckiger (Mrs. F.) in our school office.  

Social Media: Check out our Wildcat facebook page and our Instagram posts. 

Partners in Education, PIE, is Hope School’s version of PTO.  Parents and school staff  are partners in fundraising and providing school events.   Families are encouraged to connect with other families by  getting involved with PIE! Hope PIE Facebook. 

With kindness and Respect    

Sherri Hatley, Principal

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.
