Upper School Parent Involvement Day is on Saturday, March 14th at 9am! Parent Involvement Day is a time to see firsthand what your student is learning. Please keep the following details in mind:
To streamline arrival and improve security, all school events will now use QuickPIN check-in with the SchoolPass App. QR codes for events will no longer be sent via email and text.
• All parents must use their QuickPIN to check in
• Your QuickPIN can be found in the SchoolPass App (Profile → View QuickPIN)
• Download the app and log in prior to the event
• Have your QuickPIN pulled up and ready when you arrive for faster entry
Being prepared will help keep lines moving and ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
Due to construction of our new Chapel Performance Hall, there will be a temporary change to morning drop-off beginning Monday, March 9. Morning parent drop-off will move to Door 32, located in the parking lot between the Upper School Courtyard and E. 22nd Street. Drop-off times will remain the same (7:45–9:50 am).
This change is necessary due to several large construction deliveries scheduled on E. 22nd St. during morning hours. To ensure safety and improve traffic flow, we are relocating drop-off away from the active work zone. Afternoon pick-up will remain on E 22nd St. as it currently operates.
Staff members and signage will be present to help direct you to the correct door during the transition.
Thank you for your flexibility and partnership as we prioritize safety during this season of construction!

Kindergarten parents are required classes that meet the first Tuesday of the month for an hour at Hope Academy or virtually on the first Wednesday of the month. Classes are led by Dr. Darrell Gillespie and cover topics like sibling rivalry, tough conversations, community building and much more! They will go from October - May. Students do not need to attend. One or both parents may attend the sessions.
Upcoming dates: Tuesday, March 3rd & Wednesday, March 4th (zoom).
To ensure the safety of all students, any parent who wishes to enter a classroom during the school day (for volunteering, events, birthdays, chaperoning, lunch visits, etc.) must first complete a free background check at the front desk. Please bring a photo ID to complete this process as soon as possible. The background check must be completed 48 hours before your visit. Background checks must be completed every school year.
We appreciate your partnership in keeping our school safe and welcoming for every child.
