⏳ 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.

Two smiling elementary school children hugging in front of a colorful background with the Hope Public School District logo and bold red text reading ‘Every student eats at no cost to your family.’ A message below urges families to return the Income Verification Form to their child’s school by September 12 to continue free breakfast and lunch for all students.

🚨 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.

⏰ 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.

🚌 National School Bus Safety Week: October 20–24, 2025
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! ❤️🐾

Thanks to sponsorship from Magnet, Clinton Primary fourth-grade students recently enjoyed a fun and educational field trip to the Little Rock Zoo. The trip was led by Tristan McMahan and Christopher Mannis and offered students a unique opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences.

Throughout the day, students explored musical rhythm patterns, sound, and instruments, tying in the music curriculum in a hands-on way. In addition, art concepts such as texture, color, and form were observed and discussed, helping students make meaningful connections between art and nature.

The field trip also supported literacy skills, as students engaged with text, stories, comprehension, and vocabulary inspired by their zoo experiences.

It was truly a great day of learning and exploration for Clinton Primary students!
