Principal's Message
Welcome back to another successful school year at Hopkins Middle School. We’re off to a great start this year. The 6th grade and the 7th / 8th grade schedule pick up day was a success. Thank you for coming out last Saturday for these events! This showed that you care about your child’s education. We have new staff members, and we are anticipating great things from our students. I appreciate your interest and consider it a privilege that you are considering us as a partner in the education of your children. Partnerships with parents, students, staff, and the community are valued, and we welcome parental participation and the opportunity for families and communities to be involved in educating our children. At Hopkins, we believe that encouraging a positive attitude about schooling and its value will help our students be more productive. You do make a difference, and you are important to the learning process.
Parents please get involved in your child’s education through our School Improvement Council. The information for you to indicate your interest in our School Improvement is being provided in this Friday's newsletter, and it will be sent home with your child. 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 don’t be strangers to our school. Also parents, please stay in contact with your child’s teachers about their academics and behavior.
At Hopkins there is an opportunity for you to achieve success and be recognized through our various awards, regardless of your ability. We hope you have a very successful time at Hopkins and take advantage of the opportunities being offered.
As always we "Expect Excellence" in everything that we do at Hopkins Middle School, where our “Eagles Fly First Class!”

Sincerely,
Goler Collins, Principal
