Immunization Reminder for All Families

Arkansas law requires all students attending Arkansas schools to be vaccinated against certain diseases unless an official exemption form is filed.

Exemptions must be renewed each school year and should be applied for during the summer, prior to the new school year. The Arkansas Department of Health can assist with exemptions. Call 870-777-2191 or visit healthy.arkansas.gov.

As of today, students may not attend school until this deficiency is corrected or an exemption form is provided. Please bring or send the appropriate documentation to your school nurse.

------------------------------------------------

Recordatorio de Inmunización para Todas las Familias

La ley de Arkansas requiere que todos los estudiantes que asisten a las escuelas de Arkansas estén vacunados contra ciertas enfermedades, a menos que se presente un formulario oficial de exención.

Las exenciones deben renovarse cada año escolar y deben solicitarse durante el verano, antes del nuevo año escolar. El Departamento de Salud de Arkansas puede ayudar con las exenciones. Llame al 870-777-2191 o visite healthy.arkansas.gov
.

A partir de hoy, los estudiantes no podrán asistir a la escuela hasta que se corrija esta deficiencia o se presente un formulario de exención. Por favor, traiga o envíe la documentación correspondiente a la enfermera de la escuela.

Wait a minute… 👀 We’ve got an update!
From 200 forms to just 100 forms left—Bobcat community, you’re showing up BIG. 💯🐾

✅ Every completed form = more resources for your student and no-cost meals for ALL.
📍 Still need a form? Stop by your campus front office today.

We’re sooooo close! Let’s finish this together and make that $1,000,000 impact. 💪

🚨 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.

Press Release

For Immediate Release

Hope Public Schools Updated Safety Practices for Athletics and Activities

Hope, Arkansas – September 18, 2025 – Hope Public Schools is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all fans attending Bobcat athletic events. As part of recognized safety practices for the 2025–2026 school year, several security measures and entry policies will be in effect at all home football games this season.

OpenGate Security Screening
Hope Public Schools has implemented OpenGate security systems at the entrances of the stadium. These state-of-the-art systems allow for efficient, non-intrusive screening to help maintain a secure environment for all attendees. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to allow time for entry through the OpenGate system. We will have law enforcement and administrators assisting with transitions.

Clear Bag Policy
As part of our safety practices, only clear bags will be permitted inside the stadium. Diaper bags and medically necessary items are allowed but will be subject to inspection. This policy helps ensure the safety of all guests while allowing for a quicker and smoother entry process. This is consistent with safety practices for most large venues nationally and statewide.

Student Attendance Requirement
For the safety and supervision of all students: Administrators and HPS staff will remind your students of appropriate behavior. This means that horseplay, cursing, loitering in restrooms or other areas, and insubordination directed at HPS employees is prohibited. We will direct ALL students who are not accompanied by an adult or guardian to the student section. The student section will be located in the stands closest to the band and cheerleaders.

These expectations are designed to ensure a positive game day experience for all spectators.

Hope Public Schools thanks the community for their continued support and cooperation in following these procedures. Together, we can ensure that Bobcat football games remain safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for all.

Escuelas Públicas de Hope: Prácticas de seguridad actualizadas para deportes y actividades 


Hope, Arkansas, 18 de septiembre de 2025. Las escuelas públicas de Hope se comprometen a proporcionar un entorno seguro y agradable a todos los aficionados que asistan a los eventos deportivos de los Bobcats. Como parte de las prácticas de seguridad reconocidas para el año escolar 2025-2026, se aplicarán varias medidas de seguridad y políticas de acceso en todos los partidos de fútbol americano que se disputen en casa esta temporada.

Control de seguridad OpenGate

Las Escuelas Públicas de Hope han implementado sistemas de seguridad OpenGate en las entradas del estadio. Estos sistemas de última generación permiten un control eficiente y no intrusivo para ayudar a mantener un entorno seguro para todos los asistentes. Se recomienda a los aficionados que lleguen temprano para tener tiempo de pasar por el sistema OpenGate. Contamos con la ayuda de las fuerzas del orden y los administradores para facilitar la transición. 

Política sobre bolsas transparentes

Como parte de nuestras prácticas de seguridad, solo se permitirán bolsas transparentes dentro del estadio. Se permiten bolsas para pañales y artículos médicos necesarios, pero estarán sujetos a inspección. Esta política ayuda a garantizar la seguridad de todos los visitantes, al tiempo que permite un proceso de entrada más rápido y fluido. Esto es coherente con las prácticas de seguridad de la mayoría de los grandes recintos a nivel nacional y estatal. 

Requisitos de asistencia de los estudiantes

Por la seguridad y supervisión de todos los estudiantes: Los administradores y el personal de HPS recordarán a sus estudiantes cuál es el comportamiento adecuado. Esto significa que están prohibidos los juegos bruscos, las malas palabras, prolongar su estancia en los baños u otras áreas y la insubordinación dirigida a los empleados de HPS. Indicaremos a todos los estudiantes que no estén acompañados por un adulto o tutor que se sienten en la sección designada para estudiantes. La sección para estudiantes estará ubicada en las gradas más cercanas a la banda y las porristas.

Estas expectativas están diseñadas para garantizar una experiencia positiva el día del partido para todos los espectadores.

Las Escuelas Públicas de Hope agradecen a la comunidad su continuo apoyo y cooperación en el cumplimiento de estos procedimientos. Juntos, podemos garantizar que los partidos de fútbol americano de los Bobcats sigan siendo seguros, acogedores y agradables para todos.

🌟 Honoring One of Our Own! 🌟

We are proud to celebrate former State Senator Linda Pondexter Chesterfield, a Hope, Arkansas native, who has been announced as part of the 2025 Arkansas Black Hall of Fame induction class.

Senator Chesterfield’s legacy is one of firsts — she was the first African-American graduate of Hendrix College and went on to serve with distinction in both the Arkansas House and Senate. She has been a fierce advocate for policies that will impact our state for generations to come.

She called this honor “a singular moment” in her career, and we couldn’t agree more. Congratulations, Senator Chesterfield — your hometown of Hope is proud! 💙🐾
