⏳ Deadline day is almost here.
200 missing forms = $1,000,000 gone. That’s support we can’t afford to lose.
✅ Every completed form = more resources for your student and no-cost meals for ALL.
📍 Need a form? Stop by your campus front office this morning.
This is the time. One form. Big impact.
#WeInform #WeAlign

🚨 Final 48 hours to act.
We are ~200 forms short, and without them, our schools risk losing up to $1,000,000 in funding.
📌 That’s fewer resources for classrooms, fewer opportunities for your student, and a risk to no-cost meals.
Parents/Guardians: If you need a form, visit your child’s front office today.
Let’s finish this strong—together we win.
#WeInform #WeAlign

⏰ 200 forms still missing = $1M left on the table.
These forms provide no-cost meals for your student and strengthen programs across every campus.
👉 If you don’t have a form, your campus front office staff can get you one today.
💡 Every family matters—your form could be the one that makes the difference.

Thank you for the incredible community support for our Stuff the Bus Food Drive. Because of your generosity, we were able to provide essential food boxes to more than 125 Hope Public Schools families this holiday season.
Due to inclement weather, the district’s planned distribution event has been canceled. However, all donated food has been delivered to Hope In Action, where it will continue to be distributed directly to families in need throughout our community.
We are deeply grateful to our staff, students, families, volunteers, and community partners who gave their time, resources, and support to make this effort possible. Every donation and every helping hand matters, and we are confident these contributions will reach the families who need them most.
This effort is a powerful reminder of what can happen when our community comes together. Hope Public Schools is proud to support Hope families and stand alongside our partners — not just during the holidays, but all year long.

📦 Actualización sobre la campaña Stuff the Bus Food Drive
Gracias por el increíble apoyo de la comunidad a nuestra campaña Stuff the Bus Food Drive. Gracias a su generosidad, hemos podido proporcionar cajas con alimentos básicos a más de 125 familias de las escuelas públicas de Hope durante estas fiestas.
Debido al mal tiempo, se ha cancelado el evento de distribución previsto por el distrito. Sin embargo, todos los alimentos donados se han entregado a Hope In Action, donde se seguirán distribuyendo directamente a las familias necesitadas de nuestra comunidad.
Estamos profundamente agradecidos a nuestro personal, alumnos, familias, voluntarios y socios comunitarios que han dedicado su tiempo, recursos y apoyo para hacer posible esta iniciativa. Cada donación y cada mano amiga son importantes, y estamos seguros de que estas contribuciones llegarán a las familias que más las necesitan.
Esta iniciativa es un poderoso recordatorio de lo que se puede lograr cuando nuestra comunidad se une. Las Escuelas Públicas de Hope se enorgullecen de apoyar a las familias de Hope y de estar al lado de nuestros socios, no solo durante las fiestas, sino durante todo el año.

This week, Hope Public Schools proudly joins districts across the nation in celebrating National School Bus Safety Week — a time to recognize the importance of school bus safety and to honor the dedication of our transportation professionals.
This year’s theme, “Safe Stops. Stronger Communities.,” reminds us that safety starts with everyone — our drivers, students, parents, and community members.
🚸 Remember:
🚘Drivers must stop when a school bus’s red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.
🚨Always stay alert and slow down in school zones.
Every school day, our bus drivers safely transport hundreds of students to and from school. We thank them for their commitment, professionalism, and care. Please take a moment this week to remind students about safe behavior at the bus stop and on the bus — and to thank our transportation team for keeping our students safe each day.
Let’s work together to make every trip a safe one! ❤️🐾
