Unfortunately, we only offer shadow days to students who have submitted an application. We recommend applying first in order to schedule that time. After submitting an application, we set up a phone interview to learn more about your student. If we believe we may be a good fit, we can then arrange one or two shadow days.
Enrollment at HTS may be discontinued at the school’s sole discretion.
The following outlines the Hope Technology School (HTS) Family–School Partnership & Enrollment Agreement. Its purpose is to ensure clear and consistent communication regarding the expectations for our partnership with families, including HTS’s role in external correspondence.
Our Partnership Philosophy
At Hope Technology School, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and academically rigorous environment where every student can reach their full potential. We believe that enrollment at HTS signifies a strong partnership between the school and each family. This partnership is built on mutual respect, open communication, and a shared commitment to our inclusive mission.
Family–School Partnership and Discontinuation of Enrollment
HTS believes that student success flourishes in a partnership founded on trust, respect, and open communication between the school and families. Should concerns arise regarding a student’s behavior or a parent’s engagement with school expectations, we are committed to a collaborative approach:
- Initial Support: Concerns will be communicated clearly and respectfully. HTS will offer guidance or support when appropriate.
- Follow-Up: If concerns persist, HTS may request a meeting with the family to align expectations and explore possible resolutions.
- Final Review: If these efforts do not lead to meaningful improvement, and continued enrollment is no longer in the best interest of the student or the school community, the administration reserves the right to discontinue enrollment.
This process reflects HTS’s core values of compassion, inclusion, and educational integrity. Our goal is always to work in partnership, keeping the well-being of every student and the broader learning environment in mind.
Considerations for Discontinuation of Enrollment
Enrollment at HTS may be discontinued for reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
- Ongoing inability or willingness to meet behavioral or academic standards, despite reasonable support and accommodations provided by the school.
- Actions by the student or family that conflict with the school’s mission or inclusive values.
- Disruption to the learning environment or school operations.
- Ongoing disregard for school policies, boundaries, or respectful communication protocols by a parent or guardian.
- Unresolved financial obligations.
- Disregard for HTS’s stated role in district or external correspondence.
