As we move further into the school year, we want to remind families of our school’s head lice policy. If a student is found to have live lice, their families will be notified and students may can return to school 24-hours after treatment has been applied.
Our school does not conduct mass lice checks, so we encourage parents to regularly check their children at home. If a case occurs in your child’s classroom, we will send a general notice to that class, - no names shared.
To help prevent the spread of lice, please remind your child not to share hats, headphones, hair accessories, or bedding, and to keep personal items in their own cubbies or lockers.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school community healthy. Please reach out if you have any questions.

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.

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. Sign up below!
Upcoming dates: Tuesday, February 3rd & Wednesday, February 4th (zoom).
Please note: there will be NO parent groups in January.
At Hope Academy, our school uniform reflects unity, belonging, and a commitment to excellence. Wearing the correct uniform each day communicates a readiness to learn and fosters community.
This year, we want to emphasize one area in particular: shoes. For Lower School students. As stated in the Lower School Parent Handbook, students must wear solid black athletic shoes every day. Please see the attached Uniform Flyer for details and images.
We recognize that this has been a challenge in the past, and that enforcement has not always been consistent over the years. Moving forward, we will be more intentional in upholding this standard. To support families, we are providing a grace period. All Lower School students must have the correct all black athletic shoes by Monday, January 5, 2026 (the first day after Christmas break).
We appreciate your partnership as we work together to uphold consistent expectations for all students.
Updated grades for your student are ready for you every Tuesday! Click below to check your student's grades.
