REMINDER OF HOPEWELL STUDENT CELL PHONE/ELECTRONICs POLICY:
This is a reminder that we are requiring ALL students to have their cell phones turned off and put away from the time they enter the building in the morning until dismissal at 3:30. Students may use their phones during lunch periods to play games and listen to music or when a teacher allows it for instructional purposes such as research using the internet. Please do not call or text your child during instructional hours. If you need to get a hold of them or get them a message, please call the main office at: 512-464-5200.
Texas Penal Code 21.15 - WITH REGARD TO ELECTRONIC DEVICE/CELL PHONES
Due to the above Penal Code, Hopewell students will not be allowed to have their cell phones out in RESTROOMS, LOCKER ROOMS, OR CHANGING AREAS. Phones need to be inaccessible in these areas. If a student has their phone out in these areas (RESTROOM/LOCKER ROOM/DRESSING AREAS) the phone will be confiscated and the parent will have to come pick up the phone from the front office.
PTA REFLECTIONS 2016-2017
WHAT IS YOUR STORY? Students may submit entries only through a PTA or PTSA in good standing (membership dues paid). NEW & IMPORTANT DETAIL this year: Parent of and /or student entering Reflections must be a PTA member! Each entry should be the work of ONE student. They may submit more than one entry in any or all art categories: Visual Arts, Literature, Photography, Musical Composition, Film Production, &/or Dance Choreography.
HOPEWELL LOCKER & BACKPACK POLICY
Every student has been assigned a locker. Students are also allowed to carry backpacks throughout the day.
STUDENT AGENDAS
All 6th and 7th-grade students are required to have an agenda to write down assignments, due dates, and keep organized. Agendas can be purchased in the front office for $7.00. Students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch may purchase an agenda for a reduced price of $3.00. Agendas are optional for 8th graders. Parents may purchase agendas elsewhere but it is highly suggested that students have the agenda created specific for Hopewell with reminders of school policies and expectations.
PARENT PICK-UP/DROP OFF & BUS LANE
This is a reminder that parent pick up and drop off is on the south side of the building between 7:50 am - 8:20 am. Please do not drop off or pick up students in the bus lane or the front of the building in the fire lane. This is for the safety of our students.
Students with large band instruments (bass, cello, tuba, etc.) can be dropped off at the band hall entrance. After school, all students must exit through the parent pick up area (south side of building) or near the bus lane. Students are not to exit through the front doors of the school.
