All Pro Dads
The November meeting for All Pro Dads will be on November 7th beginning at 7:30 am. Dads are encouraged to join their child at school for breakfast and a message before the school day begins.
Picture Retakes
Picture retakes will be held on Thursday, November 13th from 10am-12pm.
Reading Logs
2nd graders will track their nightly reading assignments using a reading log. You must sign the reading log and record the name of the book your child read so your student can get credit for reading. Nightly reading helps students maintain and improve fluency and provides them with an opportunity to independently use the reading strategies they are learning in school.
Reformation Day
We will celebrate Reformation Day at the end of the month on October 31st. Please note that costumes are not permitted.
PAHS Auction
The Parents’ Auction for Hope School will take place on Saturday, November 8th. Please consider attending to support our school programs.
Cold Weather
Weather conditions continue to change and get colder. Please ensure your child brings a jacket to school to prepare for the day’s weather conditions. Per Hope’s recess policy, students must have an extra layer when the temperature is below 50 degrees.
Veterans’ Day
Hope will recognize our veterans on November 11th in the morning with a presentation. This event is for veterans only.
