Please bring a photo ID to complete this process as soon as possible. The background check must be completed 48 hours before your visit. Background checks must be completed every year.

Senior tributes and photos are due Monday, December 1! This will photo and note will be what is featured in our yearbook. If a senior portrait is not uploaded by that date, your student’s JPIX school photo will be used instead (if available). We encourage you to schedule your photos soon so your photographer has time to prepare the image for submission. Students may choose their own photographer or use their school photo from picture day.
Please read the following instructions carefully to ensure your student’s portrait is included in the yearbook:
Portraits must be submitted in JPEG format, at 300 DPI or higher, and must be a vertical head-and-shoulder shot (horizontal photos will not be accepted). Backgrounds should be simple or neutral, though outdoor photos are allowed. The file size must not exceed 50 MB.
To upload your portrait, click here and follow the on-screen steps. You’ll be asked to enter your contact information, verify your email, and tag the image with the student’s first name, last name, and grade. Once submitted, you’ll receive a confirmation email from donotreply@jostens.com (please check your junk or spam folder if it doesn’t appear in your inbox).
For senior tributes, please see the form below. Click here to create an account, upload a childhood photo, and share a brieftribute to your senior. If you have any questions, contact Sara Gidey at 612-540-2044 or reach out to Jostens directly.

At Hope Academy, our school uniform reflects unity, belonging, and a commitment to excellence. Wearing the correct uniform each day communicates a readiness to learn and fosters community.
This year, we want to emphasize one area in particular: shoes. For Lower School students. As stated in the Lower School Parent Handbook, students must wear solid black athletic shoes every day. Please see the attached Uniform Flyer for details and images.
We recognize that this has been a challenge in the past, and that enforcement has not always been consistent over the years. Moving forward, we will be more intentional in upholding this standard. To support families, we are providing a grace period. All Lower School students must have the correct all black athletic shoes by Monday, January 5, 2026 (the first day after Christmas break).
We appreciate your partnership as we work together to uphold consistent expectations for all students.
Updated grades for your student are ready for you every Tuesday! Click below to check your student's grades.
