NEW TECH TICKETING SYSTEM

/in , /by

After utilizing our Spiceworks Ticketing System for several years we are upgrading to a new ticket system called “Mojo Helpdesk”. Most things will work in a very similar fashion but the screens will look different. To access the system you will continue to go to http://help.hopeschool.org .
For Hope Students the credentials for the new system will be the same credentials you utilize for your computer and your email. One of the nice features of this new system is parents can now add tickets using their own email address rather than having to log tickets using their student’s credentials. When a parent creates their first ticket, they will be given credentials for the ticketing system.
Note: if you are already logged in with your Hope Credentials to Microsoft, you will be brought directly into the ticketing system.
To log-in and create a tech ticket:
• – Click on “Login to check your tickets” in the upper-right corner
• – Click on “Hope Academy Normal Login”
• – Enter credentials
Once logged in a new ticket can be created by clicking on the “new ticket” button in the middle of the screen.

Pandemic-EBT Benefits for Families

/in , /by

Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may be eligible for Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) to purchase food for days they are not in the school building. To be considered, households must submit an application for free or reduced-price meals for the 2020-21 school year or be approved for Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Families who received P-EBT benefits last summer are not automatically eligible; eligibility is based on the current school year. Benefits may be retroactive to September 2020, depending on when eligibility for free or reduced-price meals is determined. To ensure you qualify for the most benefits, please submit your application as soon as possible. Please contact School Nutrition Director Janette Takata for any proof of eligibility you may need or with any questions. She can be reached at 612-540-2010 or janettetakata@hopeschool.org.
