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.

Hopewell Elementary Pick up and Drop off

Parent Pickups at Hopewell Elementary for 2024-25

Please see below

Every day pick-ups will go to the cafeteria until called for release. We hope that as this is communicated with teachers, we can get the kids out quickly.
If you are picking up your child, please go to this link to sign up as a car rider. https://forms.gle/Bk6NeE7Tjm2QCwTe6 Once completed, we will make signs for parents/guardians to post in their vehicles.
Parents are to remain IN THEIR VEHICLES at all times. Only those parents whose students are ‘walkers’ should walk up to the cafe door to pick up their children. ALL OTHERS ARE TO REMAIN IN THE VEHICLES. Parking must be in the school parking lot. Please do NOT park on the side of the road. Police will ticket cars parked illegally on the side of the road.

Access to the main driveway up to the doors is not permitted at any time. We must keep it clear in lieu of an emergency.
Early dismissals must occur prior to 3:15. Students who get picked up daily will NOT be dismissed prior to 3:25.

Parents will follow the 2 paths in the lower lot, and students will be brought to the lower lot. If there are NO buses, we will feed cars into the main drive coming up towards the main entrance of the school.
BUSES AND SCHOOL VANS WILL HAVE PRIORITY TO THE MAIN DRIVE.
Students in the pick-up line will be called in the order they arrive to keep the flow of traffic moving as efficiently as possible.
Please be patient as we work out the kinks in the beginning and get into a groove.
