As we continue to navigate a season with many daily changes, we are asking for your help to ensure dismissal runs safely and smoothly for everyone.
All dismissal changes must be entered into SchoolPass no later than 2:59 PM.
Please note that emails, phone calls, or verbal messages to teachers or staff cannot replace entering changes in SchoolPass.
When this procedure is not followed, it creates safety concerns for students and staff and places unnecessary strain on our dismissal teams. Using SchoolPass consistently allows us to account for every student and get them home safely.
We truly appreciate your partnership and cooperation in:
Thank you for working with us to care well for our students and community.
In the coming weeks, we will be sending a weekly email to our families towards the end of the week. These updates are meant to provide timely, clear, and compassionate communication as we walk together through a season of uncertainty in the Twin Cities. Our goal is to keep you informed, supported, and connected to our Hope Academy community.
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, February 3rd & Wednesday, February 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.
At Hope Academy, we have a number of groups for parents to connect, grow, and encourage one another. We invite you to join one of our parent groups this fall:
