HOPKINS HAPPENINGS

Hopkins Families,

Thank you all for coming out last month to our Harvest Night at the HOP event! We enjoyed playing math and science games with your children and having lots of fun with festive fall games! The last day for family lunch visits will be November 21st. Due to safety and security measures and limited office and cafeteria staff, we will not be able to host our usual Thanksgiving lunches. We will, however, have the visitor cafeteria tables decorated for the season for our normal family lunch visits! We look forward to having you at the HOP all month long!

Sincerely,

Dr. Gabriel Zaragoza

Principal

REMINDERS FOR VISITING SCHOOL

• We are here for students and want to keep a safe and positive environment. Please be cordial with our front office staff and follow through all safety procedures and requests.
• Have your valid ID for check out and visiting the cafeteria.
• If you are checking out, we ask families to wait in the vestibule to alleviate traffic in the school.

• The A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 established school councils in Georgia to bring communities and schools closer together in a spirit of cooperation to achieve the following: solve difficult education problems, improve academic achievement, provide support for teachers and administrators, and bring parents into the school-based decision-making process. In short, School Councils provide advice, recommendations, and assistance to principals and local boards of education. Hopkins Elementary School council meets four times a year (September, November, January, and March).
• If you are interested in joining the Hopkins School Council for the 2024 - 2025 school year, contact Noelle Gardner, Administrative Assistant, at noelle.gardner@gcpsk12.org.
