Hello October!

This month is packed with activities, from Homecoming to Student-Parent-Teacher Conferences, which will mark the wrap-up of the first nine-week period. It is important to make plans to meet with your New Hope Champions teachers to discuss how students are progressing toward recovering lost credit and earning their current credits. Time continues to fly by this month, with plenty of opportunities to still have fun!

Much Love,

Gina Hutchins

The picture above is our data for attendance for the month of September. Parents are sent notifications via email/text when a student has been marked absent/tardy in a class period. We appreciate the parents who are responding to let us why their student is out as it helps us make the appropriate notation in Synergy.

HOWEVER, we can do better. The ultimate goal is to help all of our New Hope Champions catch up on lost credits while continuing to earn their current year credits. Whether your Junior New Hope Champion wants to return to the LHS campus for their senior year or your Senior New Hope Champion is planning to take the monumental walk across the stage in May 2025, attendance is the one factor that can be the make or break for this event happening. Please help us encourage your New Hope Champion to attend school daily and to be on time. This is an expectation they will have in all future endeavors whether its to a family event/celebration, a job, or college. Being present is often the one thing we are all held accountable for in our life. Building good habits now will help our Champions be successful in their future.

Following a dress code is important because it fosters a sense of community, professionalism, and respect in any environment. Dress codes help set the tone for focus and engagement, whether in schools, workplaces, or events. They aren't just about appearance; they reflect shared values and standards that contribute to a positive atmosphere. Adhering to these expectations demonstrates responsibility and consideration for others, creating a more cohesive and respectful environment for everyone.
