Middle School Scoop 1/9/25

Conferences – January 16th and 17th
It’s time for our Spring Student-Led Conferences.  Please select a time that you can meet in person with your child and the middle school team.  Each conference should last about 25 minutes and will be with all of the middle school teachers at the same time.  It is important that we meet with parents of all full-time students.  Homeschool parents can also request a conference, but please contact your child’s homeroom teacher to set up an alternate date.  We look forward to seeing you and discussing your child’s journey!

Open House at Hope
Hope Lutheran School will have an open house on Saturday, January 11th from 9 am until 12 pm. This is a time to tour the school and meet with next year’s teachers. We look forward to seeing you all! 

Choir Singing
Grades 6-7 will sing at Hope’s 10:30 service this Sunday, January 12. Students should meet Mrs. Schkade in the Luther Room at 10:15 to warm up. The students will sit in the balcony from the beginning of the service until they finish their choir piece, then will be dismissed to sit with their parents. If your child is unable to attend this service, please email Mrs. Schkade with a short explanation of the absence.

Sanitizing Wipes Needed
With middle school students switching classes several times a day, students use sanitizing wipes each time they enter the classroom. Miss Mondary and Mr. McCarthy would greatly appreciate if a container or two from families of Colorx wipes or similar brands. Thank you for helping us keep students healthy!
