SCHOOL RESUMES — MONDAY, February 2, 2026  Hope Public Schools will resume classes tomorrow, Monday, February 2, 2026.  While conditions have improved across much of the district, some rural and countryside areas may still have ice. Our teams will continue monitoring those areas closely.  District crews have been working across all campuses to remove thick layers of ice from bus lines, car lines, and parking lots in preparation for students and staff returning.  If there are safety concerns in your area and you feel you cannot safely get your student to school, please contact your individual campus directly.  We encourage everyone to:  Use caution while traveling  Take your time and avoid rushing  Expect buses to run slightly later than normal as drivers operate at slower speeds  Drive slowly and carefully when dropping off students  Our overall message is simple: be safe and arrive safely.  We will continue monitoring conditions and will provide updates across all platforms.
