Newsletter Oct. 19

October 18, 2023

There is a lot happening tomorrow, October 20. Tomorrow is the last day of our food drive, it is also the end of the first quarter, and it is a half day.

Our school theme is “Connected” with our verse of “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.“–John 15:1-5.

Chapel offerings will go to LeadaChild for 1st quarter. 

Dental Screenings – On Thursday, October 26, dental screenings will start around 1:00 p.m.  Dr. Bohaty will screen K-8. Toothbrushes will be provided.

Chick-fil-a Night – Come support Hope and catch up with other families Thursday October 26 from 4-9 pm at the Oak Park Mall Chick-fil-a.

Vision Screenings – On Thursday, November 2, vision screenings will start around 12:00 p.m. The Lions Club will bring their vision machine. This screening will include Kindergarten through 3rd, 5th, 7th, and all NEW students to the school. If you do not want your child screened please contact Nurse Buckmaster directly at buckmaster@hopelutheran.org.

If you have any questions feel free to email me at any point, I will get back to you within 24 hours. If you need to talk to me in person, please email me so we can set up a day and time to meet.

Auction – Our November 4th auction is coming up please contact the 7th grade room moms (Mrs. Schmitz and Mrs. Burns) to see what our basket still needs. Also, tickets and reservations for this event are due by Monday 10-16.

Chromebooks – Make sure your student is charging their laptops every night. Students are unable to charge their Chromebooks while at school, so it is important they are charging them while at home.

Religion – Make sure your student is bringing their Bibles and Luther’s Small Catechism to school.

Tests/Quizzes – Make sure your student is holding onto their tests and quizzes for each class, they are good study tools for the finals in December.

OUTDOOR RECESS POLICY
Per our handbook policy on page 14, on most days, students will be expected to go outside for recess.  If the following conditions exist, the students will not be taken out except to get a few minutes of fresh air:

  • The temperature is 15 degrees F (-13 C) or below.  The wind chill index is 0 (-18 C) or below.  
  • There is significant falling moisture.
  • Teachers may take their classes out briefly for fresh air at their discretion.
  • Students must have a jacket/coat to go outside to recess if the temperature is 50 degrees or below; hoodies are good for Middle School Students if it is 50 degrees or warmer.
