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.

Welcome Back

Welcome

Good morning Little Viking Families!!! We are thrilled to welcome our students back to school!

Here are a couple quick housekeeping items for you:

1. Students can be dropped off at the school beginning at 8:35. The late bell rings at 8:55. Any student coming in after the bell MUST be signed in by a parent/guardian.
2. Parent pickups will begin at 3:25. Busses will follow!

3. For your safety, and the safety of our students, parents MUST remain in their vehicles during student drop off / pick up.
4. Please keep in mind that our busses will be running late the first week or so as our drivers get to know their routes and most importantly. We want to ensure students are getting off at the correct stops.

5. Kindergarten students will not be allowed off the bus unless they have someone there to pick them up from the bus stop.
6. IMPORTANT!! Breakfast will be free again for the 24/25 school year and a standard Lunch will be $2.50.

See Everyone soon!
