Dear Green Hope High School Families,

As we continue to grow and learn, we consistently work to create processes that improve all aspects of our school. In an effort to create a safer and more efficient Student Check-Out procedure, we have moved the Attendance Office out of the Main Office. With this, we are also updating the process for checking students out of school early to increase the efficiency of the process. Parents no longer need to come into the building , or ring the bell, to check out a student early. Instead, there will be a QR Code for parents to scan, allowing them to complete the check-out process online.

Please review the updated student check-out process (below). Please know that parents are welcome to come into the main office for meetings and/or for support with the check-out process if there are technical difficulties. Our updated process is designed to increase safety and efficiency, not to be prohibitive to parents. Thank you!

As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, March 11th as it is a Teacher Workday.

We also want to wish a Happy Ramadan to all of our students and families that observe this holiday!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Alison Cleveland, Principal
