Hopkins Principal’s Newsletter 12\/7\/2024<\/div>"},"content":{"rendered":"
Dear Hopkins Families,

It has been an eventful week of multiple emergency warnings. We are grateful for our staff who calmly follow safety protocols, for our collaboration with Fremont Police so that we have credible information and updates, and for all of our families — your conversations at home about emergency preparedness helps kids stay calm in these situations as well. Many students asked me what happened after our Friday’s evacuation, and I appreciated their questions to seek facts. We also work hard to send you an update as soon as possible whenever we have an unexpected emergency that requires a school-wide response.

On a separate note, we would like to shout out to the hard work of our Child Nutrition Staff Ms. Nguyen, Ms. Shih, Ms. Brooks, and Supervisor Mr. Morales. Their creative thinking adjusted our lunch and pizza lines to the MUR and increased lunches served by 100 students each day. All of our students have been able to pick up a meal within 10 minutes.\u00a0
