Food Service Updates
Families of Hopkins Public Schools:
Beginning with the first day of school for the 2022-23 school year, school meals will no longer be free to all students. Congress did NOT pass the waivers to continue free meals to all students. We will go back to applications to determine free and reduced meal eligibility. Those applications will be available after July 1st. We strongly encourage all families to fill out the applications on-line to ease the process, information will be in your back to school packet.

Cell phones are to be turned off and kept in their lockers during the school day. Cell phones that are used during the school day will be confiscated and must be picked up by a parent.
