Principal Manning's Message
Greeting,
Thanks to everyone for a great first few weeks of school. I am thankful for a smooth start to the school year that feels "normal." Our students continue to do a great job and are indeed the best part of our school! I want to remind you of a few things that will ensure that our students have a successful year:
- Get to school on time
- Don't check in and out of school unless it's for an excused reason
- Turn in all excuses to the office promptly
- Be involved and supportive of all aspects of our school
Progress reports will go home this week. We will also be doing a Chromebook check when we distribute progress reports. We will share some details about home football game parking and traffic later this week to make things run more efficiently on game nights.
Go INDIANS!

By filling out the Title I forms and returning them to your local schools? (NHHS)
Click Here for more information.
What is Title I? We need your help to keep our Title I funding over $200,000. Please complete the lunch form and submit it electronically or turn the paper in to the school.
PayPAMS
Attention Parents,
After we receive all the forms from our families, this will determine if we will continue to receive funds from the Federal Government.
https://paypams.com/Online free and reduced meal applications are available here online at PayPams. A new application must be completed each school year to qualify for free or reduced meals. Your child's eligibility status carries over to the new school year for the first 30 school days, allowing parents time to re-apply. Only one application per household should be submitted, and everyone living in the house must be included in the application.
You may request a paper application from your child's teacher. Reminder: One application per family, even if you have children attending different schools in our system. Your eligibility may be checked at any time during the school year. You may be asked to provide documentation to verify your income.

Chromebook Distribution
Chromebook Distribution
Students are assigned a Chromebook. They are permitted to keep their Chromebooks for the entire school year and return it in May 2023. If a Chromebook is lost or stolen, the parent & student are responsible for paying the lost or stolen Chromebook fees to replace the Chromebook, which is an estimated $200. If there are any questions about Chromebooks, please contact Mrs. Largen, Media Specialist, or Mrs. Ryans, AP.

Parents, This information is VERY important to follow the process of how to purchase S2PASS!
New Hope High School has partnered with S2 Pass, a new innovative digital ticketing provider. In order to attend any ticketed event at New Hope High, you must purchase your ticket from the S2 Pass app. There will no longer be a cash gate selling paper tickets for any events. Downloading the app and having your ticket scanned at the gate is the fastest way to get in the game.
WE WILL BE SELLING STUDENT TICKETS DURING LUNCH FOR ALL REGULAR SEASON HOME MATCHES AND GAMES FOR MS AND HS EVENTS. You will need to download S2 Pass from the App Store or Google Play (links below). Once you have downloaded the app, you may purchase your ticket(s), and it will be scanned upon entry from your smartphone. An instructional video is below. Please be sure to purchase your ticket(s) prior to arrival. Please share this information with other students and fans! If you don't have a smartphone, you can also purchase your tickets from the S2 Pass fan website (for computers only) and print out your tickets to present at the game through this link here. • App download links Google App Store - Google Play Store - Android Apple Store - App Store - iPhone • Instructional Videos
