Message from the Principal

November 2026 

Dear Wildcat Families, 

November is an incredible month for expressing and reflecting on gratitude for the people and things in our lives.  Some things I am grateful for are: 

• Last week was our Math Magic Schoolwide Family Night and 59% of our students came out for the evening. They enjoyed math games, solved some mysteries, practiced math fluency with flair and ate a delicious dinner.  Some were surprised that math can be so engaging.   I’m grateful for the families that joined us and I’m grateful for the amazing Hope School staff that is committed to making math magical.  

• I’m incredibly grateful our students have the honor of singing for our local veterans on Veterans’ Day.  This event always brings tears to my eyes and fills my heart with a tremendous amount of love and respect.   

• Report Cards will be emailed on Nov. 16th and Parent-Teacher Conferences are set for Wednesday, Nov. 18th and 19th.  I’m looking forward to seeing all our Wildcat families.   

• Book Fair: Our book fair is the same week as our Parent Teacher Conferences.  This is a great time to purchase books for your child/ren and support our school library.  

• Attendance: In the month of October two grade levels tied for the highest average attendance - Fourth grade and Sixth Grade. Keep up your commitment to learning every day. 

• Sixth Grade Strengths: Our sixth graders participated in the Explore Strengths assessment.  Each sixth grader has now identified their top three strengths and will be learning what that means for them as learners and leaders. 

• I am also grateful for Thanksgiving Break, a time for wonderful food, family and friends.  Enjoy your family and friends and the time to snuggle in as a family - maybe read a book together.  

As we head into winter and December, please mark your calendars for our K-3 Winter Music Program on Wednesday, December 16th.   The Winter break begins on December 21st and we return to school on January 4, 2027!! Yep, we are that close to the end of 2026!   

Wishing you all a warm and cozy November!  

Sherri Hatley, Principal
