Hopewell Area SD Moving to Remote Instruction on Wednesday, April 30, 2025

Due to continued road closures taking place throughout the Hopewell Area School District overnight which will not be cleared prior to morning bus runs, the Hopewell Area School District will move to remote instruction on Wednesday, April 30. No district transportation will take place on Wednesday.

The district realizes that power and Internet are not yet functioning in many district locations. However, at this time, Duquesne Light is reporting that power should be restored sometime overnight. So, it is our intention to operate school as a flexible instruction day on Wednesday, April 30. Should that mode need to change to a complete closure due to widespread Internet access issues, then another email will be sent with that update by 8AM.

Should anyone not have direct access to FID packets or be able to join classes virtually, students will be provided with adequate time to complete and turn in work as needed. Please communicate with teachers and principals as needed if your student has any issues.

Here are some helpful tips that you may want to consider before and during a campus visit:

Contact the admissions office of the institution and tell them you would like to schedule a campus visit.
Let them know you would like to take a tour of the campus.
Ask them if you can sit in on a class or two to get a feel for a college class. Also ask if you can meet and talk with a few students to see what the school is really like (ask any and all questions you might have!).
The parent/guardian can request a meeting with one of their financial aid counselors. Bring all your questions to the meeting.
Both the parent/guardian and student should ask if there are any honors programs, grants, or scholarships for which the student may qualify.
Visit the campus café, student union and the bookstore; these are great places to observe and to listen to what students are discussing.
How do you know if the school is for you? It should “feel like a fit, feel right and/or feel like home” to you.
If visiting on a school day, please ask the admissions representative to write a note on letterhead verifying you had an official visit and turn the note into the main office.
