Message from the Principal

March 4, 2026 

Dear Wildcat Families, 

Student Led Conferences are this Friday, March 6th and they happen to be my favorite type of conference.  I love seeing students beaming with pride to share what they love about Hope School with their families. When children explain their learning, they internalize it. They move from “doing school” to owning their learning. This empowers them to focus on their individual growth promoting a positive mindset. Your children will talk about their strengths, areas they are working to improve, and goals they have set for themselves. You will see examples of their work and hear directly from them about their growth.  

Spring Break will begin for students on Friday, March 27th and then school resumes on Monday, April 6th. 

Please SAVE THE DATE: APRIL 15, 2026 for a very important event that will focus on Student Mental Health & Wellbeing and Suicide Awareness.  This event will be held in the evening at Sandpoint High School. All parents are highly encouraged to attend as Mental Health and Suicide Awareness impacts all ages of students (elementary, middle and high school).  The sessions will explicitly discuss information and strategies critically important to help parents support their children navigate growing up. Free dinner ax nd childcare are provided so parents can focus on the information.  More information will be coming soon.   

Pre-Registration Enrollment for next year:  Please use this link to register for next year.  Early registration helps us plan for next year.   

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 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. 

Wishing you a marvelous March!   

Sherri Hatley, Principal

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.
