Day Fifteen: April 3
COVID 19 - Hopkins High School Update
As predicted, it is official that we will not be opening our doors to students for the remainder of the 209-2020 school year. The staff and administration are working on a Continuity of Learning Plan as required by the State. We will have this designed in the near future. We believe that this distance learning will begin the week of April 20. Materials will be distributed electronically via Google.Classroom, downloaded and worked on offline and submitted by uploading upon completion, or through printed packets. Work distributed during this period will need to be completed by students for credit to be assigned. Teachers will have office hours. Votech students will have similar expectations delivered to them through their instructors. Many details to follow once the plan is finalized.
Students will be allowed to come to school to pick up their belongings. This will be conducted the week of April 13. Look for specifics next week. This will be conducted in a very orderly and precise way to keep students and staff safe.
Below is a chart that I have borrowed from the REMOTE LEARNING RECOMMENDATIONS DURING COVID-19 EMERGENCY offered by the Illinois State Board of Education. It is additional activities to support the whole child and get us through this difficult period. Give them a try and take care of yourself.
We have many decisions to make, but in the meanwhile enjoy your family, stay academically active, safe and healthy!

For Seniors, is the work that was handed out initially part of this? Will there be additional?
Do you know how the freshman are going to get their class rings?

We are all saddened by the Governor's executive order to continue the school closure through the end of the 2019-20 school year. We are working diligently to create a plan and provide more information. Please be patient with us as we work through these questions and try to provide answers the best we can. We will share information as soon as possible. We are strong and will get through this together. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you
I’m not saddened, I know this is a good decision to protect our kids and the families and communities in which they live. Hopefully school will resume in the fall as normal with proper quarantine.

What are we going to do for the students who do not have WiFi and can not get WiFi services to their homes? I don’t want my sophomore to fall behind with credits and school work.

Any plan to let them clean our their lockers???
Thank you Hopkins Public Schools❤️ We will pray for the future and be patient to see what that holds for all of us.
Thank you to all staff who are working hard to adapt. We appreciate you and miss you! ❤️
Good luck to you guys for figuring this out. A few concerns about kids without internet or devices and if they will be held back or not. Those are the big concerns we currently have
Thank you staff for all your hard work during this time.
What about the seniors and getting cap and gowns for graduation and for the students who are in track that ordered stuff for track season...
Just wondering if we will be getting some of our money back. Freshman baseball... hyso baseball, girls on the run, Feilds trip etc.
Heartbreaking for everyone, students, teachers, staff.
For those that ordered class rings. Will we be getting those soon?
Tim Stuyvesant
Amy Wiley just wanted to make sure you saw this.

Day Thirteen: April 1
COVID 19 - Hopkins High School Update
No, this is not an April Fool’s Day joke. Governor Whitmer will be deciding the fate of schools tomorrow- Thursday, April 2. All indicators point to closing it down for the year. We will need to provide distance learning through electronic means, packets or a combination of both. We are meeting as a staff tomorrow via Zoom to discuss the best ways to deliver instruction while remaining reasonable for staff, students and families. Decisions will be shared with you when the processes are in place and our plans will begin the week of April 13. Emails have been sent to students to give them a heads up and a little more information… please discuss the content of those emails with your children. We have many decisions to make, but in the meanwhile enjoy your family, stay academically active, safe and healthy!

Email should go to the parents, my kids hardly ever check their email. I pray you do by mail because if even some of the classes are required online, I won't see my kids because we don't have internet where we live and they do at their dad's. PLEASE make sure packets are mailed out because not all families, like ourselves have access to internet even though we can afford it.
Thanks for all you have done. Just fyi, zoom has been great for my elementary students
Will emails go out to the parents as well or just the students?
