GOOD HOPE MIDDLE

Welcome to Good Hope Middle School!

Here are a few things that we would like to bring to your attention:

Softball tryouts will be held May 9-10th from 3:30 – 5:00 pm. Be sure to bring any equipment (glove, cleats, bats, etc.) that you will need. For more information contact Coach Mathews at dustinmathews@opsb.net

Messages will NOT be delivered to students in class. 

NO OUTSIDE FOOD DELIVERS ARE ALLOWED

In order to protect classroom instructional time, no books, binders, lunch boxes, instruments, homework, or athletic apparel will be delivered to a student in class. It is the responsibility of the student to check the office between classes.

We are excited to announce that fees and fundraisers can be collected through our online payment system. 

• Effective August 1, 2018, a transaction fee of $1.00 plus 2% of the total transaction will be added to each invoice at checkout. This fee only covers a portion of the cost paid by Ouachita Parish School Board to offer this service to parents and the community.  
• Be on the lookout for this logo for online payments: 

Dear Parents,

On behalf of the staff at Good Hope Middle School, I am happy to welcome you to the 2018-19 school year! We are looking forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure our children can achieve their highest potential. We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our children need support from both the home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities.

 We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:

1) Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience

2) Completes all homework assignments given by teachers

3) Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills

4) Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life

5) Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject

6) Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and go on to college

Please consider joining our PALS (parents and loyal supporters parent organization) as our students can greatly benefit from your involvement and contributions to the school’s program and its operations. If you have any questions about the rules and expectations, please feel free to contact me or to discuss them with your child’s teacher. It is very important that you and your child are fully informed regarding standards related to appropriate behavior for a safe and productive school year.

The wonderful and amazing Good Hope Middle School staff and I feel privileged to be a part of this school family. We thank you for your support and look forward to 2018-19.

Sincerely,

Twainna Calhoun

Principal
