Hopkins is inviting all Hopkins fathers, grandfathers, guardians, etc. to commit to at least one volunteer experience per semester, spending time on the Hopkins playground during lunch recess. Volunteers are asked to be visible and present, support, circulate, and get to know as many Hopkins students as possible. Volunteers are asked to keep an eye out for students who may not be connecting with other students to check-in, encourage, and engage. Every child deserves a “High 5!” Volunteers are encouraged to referee, play, coordinate or manage games and activities on the playground. All volunteers will sign in and be given a full background check with our new Relatrix Sign-in system in the office. If you are able, 48 hours prior to your first volunteer day, please register online using the following link: https://lps.ezcommunicator.net/edu/lps/login_form.aspx?app=0. Then, when you arrive to volunteer, please check in at the office and and we will print out your permanent badge to keep on file in the office.

Students will be able to enter the building beginning at 7:45am and go directly to their classrooms. All students need to be in their classrooms by 8:00am. There will not be any supervision on the playground before school and students will not be allowed on the playground before school. Staff will be at the front door, the lower playground door, and the upper playground door to let students in the building beginning at 7:45am. Our late start Wednesdays will begin at 9:00am with students allowed to enter the building at 8:45am. Please see the attached flyer for more information and contact me if you have any questions or concerns. It is important that your child is picked up when the bell rings at 2:43pm.

If you need child care before or after school, please contact our SACC manager, Carissa Starbuck, at the ice cream social for information on High Hoppers before and after school care.
