Storms Keep Schools Closed in Hopewell -Day 2!

Due to bad storms and power outages all over Pittsburgh, Hopewell Township will be on its second consecutive flexible instruction day tomorrow. Downed trees are still on the roads with many people still without power and internet. Hopefully everyone is slowly getting back to normal and was safe during the storm. Hopewell is on track for rain over the next few days which will undoubtedly slow down repairs to the power grid.

“Dear Hopewell Families,

Due to ongoing storm restoration efforts in the community and at district schools, the Hopewell Area School District will operate all schools under a Flexible Instruction Day (FID) model with students learning remotely from home on Thursday, May 1, 2025. There will be no district transportation provided, and after-school and evening activities will take place as scheduled.

The district truly understands that some students may have varying needs associated with power outages or Internet loss, so please communicate needs with teachers and principals. They will be willing to assist as needed. With an in-service day and prom happening on Friday (May 2), students will next return to school on Monday, May 5. So, the extra day in remote learning will yield multiple days of recovery efforts to, hopefully, return all students to regular in-person schooling on Monday, May 5.

Thank you,

Jeff Beltz

Superintendent”
