Halloween Costume Information
As we approach Halloween, we wanted to touch base on costumes. Costumes cannot include any dangerous or unsafe props (swords, weapons, unsafe objects). Costumes should also not be bloody or gory. Students who do not wish to participate in the parade may stay in the office.
HES Battle of the Books teams are forming now. Mrs. Hall held a BOTB info session with all 3rd-5th graders a couple of weeks ago. If your child is interested in being part of a Quiz Bowl type competition surrounding some great books, please remind him or her to sign up with teachers. They have until Friday October 25 to get on their teacher's list.
Hopkins Public Schools is looking for part time custodial subs. These positions would service all buildings in the district. If you are interested or want more information, you can reach out Kyle Bockheim at kylebock@hpsvikings.org
For the 2024-2025 school year, Hopkins Elementary School and Sycamore Elementary School revamped their handbooks. Earlier in August, the Hopkins Board of Education approved the changes. You can view the handbook here: https://www.hpsvikings.org/wp-content/uploads/24-25-Elementary-Handbook.pdf
A couple changes of note:
- Behavior Expectations - Page 15 - includes levels, consequences, and shows you the progressive discipline implemented.
- Student Appearance - Page 18 - updated language.
- Field Trips - Page 19 - includes information on how discipline effects field trips.
Please take a few minutes to make those changes so we have everything we need for your child!
