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.

About the Teacher

Welcome to
209

It is with Purpose, Passion and Pride that I welcome you and your child to an exciting school year. This year I will be teaching Social Studies to your son or daoughter in 6th grade. I am looking forward to the year because there has been many changes with the new common core standards in the Social Studies curriculum. Our academic standards for the year will incluse the following: Geography, Economics, History, Civics and Government. I plan to tie current events to the curriculum to engage the students with the news from around the world.

Homework

Education can be competitive as well, and we all want our children tobe the best that they can be. Therefore, when a homework assignment is given in one of my classes, I expect that it be done on time. Missing or incomplete assignments result in points beingdeducted from the student’s grade. Homework missed due to absence is the student’s responsibility. I will be glad to send home any work at. parents’ request.

Planners: Planners should be used to record student assignments and/or information for the parents. This is a great communication tool for us to keep on track and updated as to what is due and when.

Remind 101: Plan to sign up for remind 101 because it is another great way to communicate between school and home. (It's A Free App!)

Grades: As in the past, parents can log onto CSIU and monitor your child's grades. Grades are posted by: Test, Project, Homework, and Classwork.

Looking forward to a great year!
