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.

Independence Elementary Dropoff procedures

Independence Elementary Drop Off procedure

Students may be dropped off no earlier that 8:35a.m. when school staff is on duty.

All students must be dropped off at the main entrance.

For your safety, and the safety of our students, Parents/Guardians MUST remain in their vehicle during student drop off. Students are to exit their vehicle on the curbside only. If you need more time to get your child out of their car seat, you can park in one of the empty parking spaces, and a staff member will help escort your child to the entrance.

If your child arrives after 8:55a.m., you are required to come into the school and sign them in utilizing the Blue binder on the "drop off" table. Any student arrivals after 8:55 are considered Tardy for the school day and will require an excuse.
