Reminder Campus Clean-up Days– August 12-14
Students, teachers and staff are returning to campus soon, and we want to make our campuses beautiful! We need your help! Come for just an hour or all 3 days, August 12-14. Details and the signup can be found HERE. There are projects for everyone, inside and out, so take a look at the list and sign up for a time slot. Please note that time slots/jobs may change based on need and more may become available as we get closer (note: some jobs, like mowing the lawn, are only needed once during the weekend).
If you have questions, contact Sally Heit @ sheit@hopeseattle.org.
Updated COVID-19 Guidance
Last week we received updated school guidance from the Department of Health, which looks very similar to what we anticipated coming out. Later this week we will share more specific details about Hope’s COVID-19 protocols for the coming school year. Thank you for your patience.
Staffing News
We have recently hired Emma London as our Orcas (prek) class assistant, helping Mairi Seraile. Miss London is a graduate of Hope Lutheran School from years ago and has been a volunteer and childcare worker at her church and with other organizations. We are excited to add her to our preschool staff!
Additionally, Elliott Figgins has made the decision to return to Hope this year and will continue to lead the after school extended school-care program. He will attend college classes during the day and then work at Hope in the afternoons. We are so pleased to welcome him back for the coming school year.
