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.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

“Those who think they have no time for exercise will eventually have to make time for ILLNESS" Edward Stanley

PHYSICAL EDUCATION/ WELLNESS


Physical Education is the only subject which by the very nature of its content has the potential to affect how a person will feel every moment of everyday for the rest of his or her LIFE!

The ultimate goal of Physical Education is to facilitate students in improving their quality of life through promotion of life long health enhancing physical activity.  At Hopewell Junior High, students will learn why regular planned physical activity is important, why the concepts necessary for successful participation in regular physical activity are important and how personal responsibility/interpersonal cooperation can make physical activity a winning proposition for everyone.  We want students to learn how to control their own level of fitness, strengthen the heart, strengthen the body, relieve stress, avoid disease, improve self confidence and improve ones overall quality and outlook on life.

The curriculum focus is on lifetime fitness and physical activity.  Students are encouraged to work to attain individual goals.  Activities will be broken up into three separate tracks. Each of these three separate tracks will progress in skill and intensity through out the year/or semester. The three tracks are Cardio Fitness, Strength Training and various games.
