Message from the Principal

October 2026

Dear Wildcat Families, 

Fall is HERE and we are blessed to be surrounded by such beauty.  As the colors of the leaves have changed, we have changed from the beginning of the year assessments to tackling new learning for every student, every day. 

September Highlights:

• We celebrated students who completed their Summer Learning Reading Challenges.  Yahoo! 

• Title I Parent Involvement Meeting was held and parents learned about how Hope School students and their families benefit from Title I funds, including specialized reading intervention programs and math intervention support.  Intervention focuses on specific skills to address learning deficits. 

  • Meet the Title I staff - Miss Lindsey, Mrs. Ludikhuize, and Mrs. Hatley 

  • Title I presentation. 

• First Grade had the HIGHEST Average attendance for September and so far they are ahead of the game for October too!  

  • September was National Attendance Awareness month and if you missed the adorable reels our students ‘starred’ in, please back track and check them out on Facebook.

What’s happening now and what’s coming up: 

• First Grade received their PAFE Reading Puppies from Wampy - CFHS mascot.  It was so exciting - and another fun post on Facebook. 

• Third Grade is participating in a series of three swimming lessons at the Pend Oreille Shores Resort sponsored by Long Bridge Swim Program. This is an amazing program.  Our students learn how to swim and be safe in our rivers, lakes and streams. 

• Our in-school Halloween Parade is on Friday, October 30th. 

• November 5th is our FALL FAMILY FUN LEARNING NIGHT - join us for the Magic of Math!  Families have fun learning together.  Dinner is provided.   

• November 11th is our annual Veterans Day Celebration where local veterans attend a patriotic and heartfelt assembly presented by our students.  This celebration fills our hearts with compassion and joy.

We look forward to seeing you at our events and remember, if you have questions, just give us a call or send an email.   

Hope School Newsletter:  The school newsletter is very informative about school events and it is emailed to families each week.  If you would like to receive a newsletter, please contact Mrs. Fluckiger (Mrs. F.) in our school office.

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.
