This year, say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account.
Set up eWallet before the fair for worry-free, cash-free purchases by clicking here.
Current e-wallet accounts, if your child has funds remaining from last fair, you will need to log into your account to make it available for this fair.
We do still accept cash, check (made out to HPTO), or Apple Pay as well.
Please note – there will be sales tax this year.
The book fair is open to students in the library from 7:45-2:30 May 2-4. Families can also shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.
Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet, online shopping, and other resources.

Unfortunately, in the event of rain, we will need to move this event inside and it will be livestreamed due to the capacity of our auditorium.
Is your student missing glasses?
We have a large collection of eyeglasses in the main office. If your student is missing glasses, please have them stop in the main office to see if one of these pairs belongs to them.

Please have your students check lost and found for any items that they may be missing. Any items left after Friday, May 12th will be donated.

Balancing competing priorities for the middle school child.
Supporting the academic needs of the middle school child.
Preparing for 8th grade and Beyond.
HOP Presents: Screenagers, Under the Influence
The HOP coalition and Hopkinton Youth and Family Services will be hosting Screenagers: Addressing Vaping, Drugs & Alcohol in the Digital Age on Tuesday, May 16th. We will be hosting two screenings on that day, in the morning at the HCA and in the evening at the Middle School Auditorium. This screening is the newest installment of Screenagers that highlights teens' stories of misuse/addiction to substances and technology. We will also hold an anonymous "Talk Back" in which professionals will respond to questions/comments.
