Korri Kane
Principal
Welcome to Hopewell Elementary School where learning is fun! I feel extremely fortunate to be the principal of a school with such wonderful children, a motivated and dedicated staff, and parents who work with us to create an environment that facilitates student learning through a wide variety of innovative and collaborative methods and activities. Our faculty and staff are highly committed to providing the most rewarding education possible and making the process of learning an enjoyable experience. Your child's education is our top priority! We look forward to working together with you to make your child’s educational experience a positive one.
The Hopewell
Area School District Curriculum guides the high quality instruction that
takes place every day in the classrooms at Hopewell Elementary. Our
curriculum is aligned to both the Pennsylvania State Standards and the Common
Core Standards which promote 21stCentury learning skills.
As we begin the
2018-2019 school year the teachers are implementing even more researched based
strategies to promote high student achievement through the integration of the 4
C’s (Collaboration, Creativity, Communication and Critical Thinking). We
feel strongly that these initiatives, along with those already in place, provide
a strong foundation for exceptional learning. This along with the
support of our families and community makes Hopewell Elementary an amazing
place to learn and work.
Parental
involvement in our school community is high, and for that parents are
applauded. Research demonstrates that such involvement is the number
one factor in determining student success in school. Parental
involvement can take many forms. First and foremost, parental involvement
means getting children to school every day and getting them there on
time. Being present to monitor student homework, providing a quiet place
for homework completion and being informed about progress and grades are
all important to student success. For those parents who can volunteer in
the school, we would encourage you to do so! Please stop and see us if
you would like more information. These opportunities can provide you with a
firsthand look at the culture of expectations established at Hopewell
Elementary and to contribute to the positive climate of the school.
