Hopewell Area SD: Remote Instruction on Thursday, May 1, 2025

Due to ongoing storm restoration efforts in the community and at district schools, the Hopewell Area School District will operate all schools under a Flexible Instruction Day (FID) model with students learning remotely from home on Thursday, May 1, 2025. There will be no district transportation provided, and after-school and evening activities will take place as scheduled.

The district truly understands that some students may have varying needs associated with power outages or Internet loss, so please communicate needs with teachers and principals. They will be willing to assist as needed. With an in-service day and prom happening on Friday (May 2), students will next return to school on Monday, May 5. So, the extra day in remote learning will yield multiple days of recovery efforts to, hopefully, return all students to regular in-person schooling on Monday, May 5.

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.
