Our Mission

At Hopkins Elementary School we are collaboratively helping children achieve their personal best while increasing student achievement.

Our Vision

At Hopkins Elementary School we are working together to cultivate learners, empower families, and strengthen communities.

Hopkins Families,

Thank you Hopkins families, we were able to have 573 survey responses from you! The survey results will provide great feedback for our school as we continue to do great things for each child at the HOP!

We hope you enjoy Spring Break with your families, take time to go on walks, enjoy local parks, and spend quality time together! One of the best ways we can show love to our kids is to spend time with them!

Remember to have your children attend school daily. We start teaching at 8:15am and finish at 2:40pm. If you need to be out, send a note in person with your child. For early checkouts, please do this before 2:00pm, but remember we teach each minute, so leave them until the end of the day if possible!

Let's enjoy the month of April! Great things are happening at the HOP!

Proud to be YOUR Principal,

Dr. Gabriel Zaragoza

Attached below is a link below for our Hopkins Elementary Parent-Student Handbook so that you and your child can review school rules and procedures together. If you have any questions about the rules and expectations, please feel free to contact the school or discuss them with your child’s teacher. It is very important that you and your child are fully informed regarding standards related to appropriate behavior for a safe and productive school year.
