A Message from our Director, Dr. Adam Ecklund

You did it!  The end of the 2020-2021 school year has come to a close.  Transition and change is ever upon us as we enter a season of rest and restoration.  I would like to challenge our community to reflect on the lessons the Lord has taught us in this past year and seek how He can use those moments for His glory in the future.  St. Augustine wrote the following prayer and I would like to encourage everyone to offer these words to the Lord. 


Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself to me. Behold I love you, and if my love is too weak a thing, grant me to love you more strongly. I cannot measure my love to know how much it falls short of being sufficient, but let my soul hasten to your embrace and never be turned away until it is hidden in the secret shelter of your presence. This only do I know, that it is not good for me when you are not with me, when you are only outside me. I want you in my very self. All the plenty in the world which is not my God is utter want. Amen.

I am honored to serve as your director,

Adam

For more details, please visit our BYOD mini-site.


If you have any questions about this program please email byod@hope.edu.kh.

Reports

ALL Reports will be emailed out Monday, June 14 (or earlier)


Note for Secondary Reports: you will see that individual subjects show the tasks completed, and your child’s score relative to the average class score for a task. (unless the class is very small in which case this would not be valid information)


If there is an average but no grade for a task for your child this means that they did not complete the task for some reason (for example illness or extended absence) and therefore the task does not contribute to their final grade. If they did not submit the task by the deadline, or failed to complete it satisfactorily, then they will have received a non passing grade.


We have tried to be accommodating in our assessment requirements this year in consideration of the challenges of home based schooling and offsite assessment completion.


If you require a hard signed copy of your child’s report, please email pa.principal@hope.edu.kh



Thank you HOPE Parent Council for raising $521 during the 2021 Sports Day. This money has been donated to the HOPE sports department and will be used to purchase some new equipment.
