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.

Computational Thinking with Robots Grade 5

General Information

September 4 -

Hurricane Harvey Rescue Mission. Students will be introduced to block prgramming using drones. Students will eventually be tasked with collecting data on the movement of their drone so that they may program their drone to perform a rescue mission.

Computational Thinking with Robots, Grade 5, will introduce students to programming VEX IQ Robots. This is being made possible through the generosity of VEX Robotics and Robomatter Inc. who have donated 5 VEX SuperKits, various robot parts, software and the curriculum that we will be using this year.

The students will be gaining valuable Computational Thinking Skills while learning to program the robots this year. Research has shown that once the students know how to program the robots, we can then use the robots to supplement the curriculum of various disciplines ( i.e. math, science, L.A. Social Studies, etc... ).
