Mary Hopkins Important Updates

Important reminders ….

Attendance – Our school day starts at 9:15 sharp with morning supervision beginning at 9:00am. Showing up on time to school every day can help students develop the habit of being punctual, illustrates to them your commitment to their learning and friendships, and helps reduce classroom interruptions and distractions for all students. If your child will be late or absent, please ensure you are entering this into Safe Arrival. 

SafeArrival-Elementary

Extended Absence- If your child will be absent for an extended time (e.g. holiday, surgery etc.) please ensure you are notifying your child’s teacher, as prolonged absence form is required to be filled out.

Lost & Found -All unclaimed articles are brought to the Lost and Found box.  At the end of each month, all items remaining in the box will be donated to a local charity. Labelling articles your child is wearing/bringing to school is very helpful.

Student Pantry needs restocking….

We have a “Student Pantry” here at Mary Hopkins.  This pantry will be used to support our students who have either forgotten their lunch, or perhaps need a little extra boost to get them through the day without feeling hungry. Our Wishlist includes: cheese strings, plain cheerios, nut free granola bars, snack size bags for Cheerios,  any pre-packaged/nut free snacks, and plastic spoons. If you would like to donate something, please have your child drop it off to Mrs. Z in the office.  We thank you so much for your support with this initiative!
