As we head into Spring Break, we wish all of our Panther families a wonderful and relaxing break/holiday. We hope this time brings you moments of rest, joy, and time together.
As a reminder, tomorrow, April 2nd, is an early dismissal day at 1:30 p.m. Our Yearbook Club will also be selling snacks during lunchtime—students may bring money if they would like to participate.
School will be closed for Spring Recess from April 3rd through April 7th. We look forward to welcoming our Panthers back on April 8th, refreshed and ready to learn!
🔥 Panthers Around the Campfire Literacy Night 2026 was a HUGE success! 🔥
A special thank you to Mayor McDonough, our State Police, our amazing PTA, our dedicated staff, our supportive families, and our incredible students for making the evening so memorable. It was truly a night filled with reading, fun, laughter, and togetherness!
Because at Hope… READING is for everyone!
🌟 Celebrating Our Unsung Heroes! 🌟
On Wednesday evening, March 11, students were honored at the 2026 Warren County Unsung Heroes Recognition Ceremony, recognizing those who make meaningful, quiet contributions to their schools and communities.
We are proud to share that three students connected to Hope Township School were recognized:
🐾 Aubree, our very own 5th grade Panther
🐾 Tayte, former Hope student now an 8th grader at White Township School
🐾 Dylan, former Hope student now a senior at Belvidere High School
Your kindness, leadership, and PAWSitive impact make us all proud!

It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day! 🌟
Did you hold the door for someone? Share a compliment? Include someone new?
Small acts = BIG impact.
Let’s fill Hope with kindness today and every day!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Beginning Friday, September 12, our morning bus routes will remain the same, but there will be a small change to the afternoon bus routes:
*White Bus #4 will pick up Hope students from White Township and bring them back to Hope.
*White Bus #4 will then deliver Hope students home in place of Hope Bus #1.
We are hopeful this adjustment will help solve the afternoon bus challenges we’ve been experiencing. Please note that afternoon drop-off times may still vary due to factors such as the number of students riding, after-school activities, road work, or bus release times from Belvidere.
We will review how this change goes over the weekend and make adjustments, if needed.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we work together to make sure every student gets home safely.
Yours with PAWSitivity,
Mrs. Green :)

SPARK SOME SUMMER READING!
We are incredibly proud of our Hope Graduates and all they have accomplished, as well as the remarkable growth they have demonstrated. As you move on to the next chapter, we wish you a bright future filled with success, joy, and endless possibilities.
Once a Panther, always a Panther—congrats, Class of 2025!
Please join us in celebrating the retirement of two amazing members of our school family!
After 21 years of dedication, compassion, and service, Ms. Rockenfeller is retiring from the classroom. She has inspired countless students, sparked a love of learning, and made a lasting impact on our school community. We are so grateful for the care and commitment Ms. Rockenfeller brought to every school day.
We're also saying a heartfelt goodbye to Ms. Deyong, who has been the heart of our front office for 27 years. From warm welcomes to keeping everything running smoothly, her kindness, organization, and steady presence will be deeply missed.
Wishing both of them the very best in this next exciting chapter.
Thank you for everything—you leave behind a legacy of excellence and heart. 💙
Dear 5th, 6th and 7th Panther Families,
This is a reminder that our students will be visiting White Township Consolidated School on Tuesday, June 3rd.
If a permission slip has not been returned, please return it tomorrow.
Additionally, a Parent Information Session will be held that evening, June 3rd, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the White Township School Gym. I have attached the letter sent on May 21st as a reminder about Tuesday's events.
Enjoy your day with PAWSitivity!
Mrs. Green
