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.
