  • March 11th - Hope Garden Community Planting Day

Hello HOPE Families,

I hope you have stayed safe and warm this past couple of days.  It has been beautiful.....BUT COLD!  There are two very important things happening for our school simultaneously.  Therefore, let me just mention those so that you are aware and can participate at whatever level you would like.

First, it is time to renew our Charter with the Beaverton School District.  I can't emphasize enough the importance of the district recognizing the stakeholder support we have.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE provide some input by completing the form HERE.  It is open for input through the weekend.  We need to let them know we have strong parental support, are the right place for kids to be, and we want to continue to have a growing relationship with the district.

Finally, the School Board and committees are working hard on the Strategic Plan for our school.  We will have opportunities over the next few weeks to share the plan, gain your feedback, and make sure that everyone is on board.  This is a five year plan that entails academics, operations, and more.  It is an exciting time here at HOPE and you are a part of it.  

Thanks for everything you do.  HOPE is a great place for kids and we are glad you chose HOPE!  Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

With High Expectations,
Kevin Olds

HOPE CHINESE CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

The HCCS Board of Directors is looking to recruit candidates to fill upcoming vacancies for upcoming terms starting July 2023. We are seeking candidates who desire to foster global citizenship through education. Serving on the Board is an opportunity to support and contribute to the success of HCCS school leaders, teachers & staff, and students. Board member time commitment is estimated to be 10-20 hours per month on average.

The current Board goals are as follows:
  1. Develop a tactical multiple year plan to establish a strategic plan including fundraising/ resourcing.
  2. Advance DEI and anti-racism efforts in priority areas throughout the school such as academics, enrollment, fundraising, finance, and governance.
  3. Establish and gain traction with the fundraising committee to enable new & diverse revenue streams for the school.
  4. Enhance board recruitment and succession planning to ensure a robust candidate pipeline and incorporate DEI focus areas, such as:  board representation, enhanced expertise, and diversity of thought.
We welcome an application from anyone who feels passionate about being an ambassador in the community and articulating the School's mission and goals to the public. The Board would benefit from candidates with experience in Education (preferably elementary education), Finance/Accounting, Fundraising, Legal, Commercial Real Estate, & Business (Marketing,Human Resources, Program Development). We encourage applicants from marginalized groups including BIPOC, LGBTQ, learning disabled, women, and lower socioeconomic status, in order to widen the variety of perspectives represented on the Board.

Individuals interested in serving in a leadership capacity on the Board are highly desired and encouraged to indicate their interest in their application, as Board Members are encouraged to hold an officer position (i.e. chair, treasurer, secretary) during their Board tenure. 

Interested candidates can apply by submitting this form:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DoCwQIZsbfngFYWS4hTY-WY4l64BKBeVl1icAqqu_YI

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis between now and March 2023
