The Principal's Corner

 
Principal's Message
 
Welcome back to another successful school year at Hopkins Middle School. Were off to a great start! Thanks for supporting our schedule pick-up, and meet the teachers day on last Saturday. We appreciated the great turnout, and we look forward to your continued support. Partnerships with parents, students, staff, and the community are valued. We welcome parental participation and the opportunity for families and the community to become involved in educating our children. At Hopkins Middle School, we believe that encouraging a positive attitude about schooling and its value will help our students become more productive. You do make a difference, and you are important to the learning process.
 Parents, please get involved in your childs education through our School Improvement Council. The information (nomination forms) for you to indicate your interest in our School Improvement Council is provided in this Friday's newsletter. Remember it takes all of us working together to ensure that our students succeed. We need your input, so feel free to get involved, and dont be strangers to our school. Also parents, please stay in contact with your childs teachers about their academics and behavior.  If we can assist you with the educational development of your students, feel free to contact us at any time!
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Goler Collins
 
Principal
