Message from the Principal

August 1, 2025

Welcome Hope School Families, 

Yes, it’s true! Summer is almost over.  We are looking forward to the 2025-26 school year and can’t wait to see you all.  It will be incredibly exciting to meet new families and to reconnect with our returning families. We have two new staff members at Hope School and are ecstatic to have them join our team.  Mrs. Jessica Fluckiger is our new School Office Coordinator and Ms. Mila Donaldson is our new SEC (Services for Exceptional Children) teacher.    

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

• School Office Opens: Monday, August 18

• Back-to-School Open House: Wednesday, August 27, 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 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 2

• First Day of School for Kindergarteners: Thursday, September 4

  • 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.

Please enjoy the rest of your summer! 

With Kindness and Respect, 

Sherri Hatley

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.
