Hope Happenings

Home visits are a chance for your child(ren)'s teacher to get to know you and your family. Since our teachers will be out visiting homes, there will be no school during these three days. This is a yearly required parent covenant event and if you have any questions about scheduling or other needs please call, 612-540-2000.

‍

A few details to keep in mind for Home Visits:

• Teachers will spend approx. 30 minutes at your home for your scheduled visit.
• Please leave your apartment or house light on if it is dark to help our teachers find you!
• We kindly ask that pets be secured in a separate room, crate, or yard before your teacher arrives.

We are excited to see you!

We are inviting all lower school scholars to participate in our reading challenge! Your scholar should have received a reading challenge sheet to bring home on October 2nd. This is how they will be tracking their reading and marking their completed challenges over the next few weeks! Students who return their challenge sheets to the library will receive a prize, even if they don’t finish every challenge.

‍

We’ll be talking with students often about their reading, so we can celebrate their growth and grow their love of books. Your partnership makes a big difference in building strong readers! Please ask your child about the books they’re reading, their favorite places to read, and which challenges they’ve tried or hope to try. You might even tackle a few challenges together!

‍

Thank you for being our partners in reading. Happy reading!

Picture retakes are this Tuesday, October 13th! Your family will receive an email from Slow Road Photography with more details on how to schedule a retake.

‍A note for our high school students: Picture retake day happens to fall on our out-of-uniform tournament day. However, we ask that you still take your photo in your school uniform. You can either change into your uniform before your photo or wear it all day.
