Information Center

We understand that sometimes early pick-ups are unavoidable. However, please keep the following in mind:

• Early dismissals disrupt student learning. Please schedule appointments before or after school whenever possible.

• Avoid picking up your student during the last 30 minutes of the school day—this is the busiest and most disruptive time for the school.

• If an early pick-up is necessary, please notify the school in advance. 952-988-4410

Thank you for supporting our students’ learning by minimizing disruptions during the school day.

All requests for guest/friend bus passes must be pre-approved by the Transportation Department. With increasingly full vehicles, transportation must first ensure there is appropriate room for an extra scholar.

Please request a bus pass from student service secretary, Amber Hampton (952-988-4416; Amber.Hampton@hopkinsschools.org) at least one day before the desired ride. It is NOT guaranteed there will be space on the bus. If it is approved, the Transportation Department will send a bus pass to the school for your child. If you are unable to connect with Amber please call the West Middle School office phone: 952-988-4400

At Hopkins West Middle School, parents are not permitted to bring outside food for their students, and students are not allowed to order food from outside the school during school hours. This policy ensures fairness and consistency for all students, as it prevents disruptions and maintains a focused learning environment.

Students are welcome to bring lunches from home, but any food ordered from outside will be held and given to students at the end of the day.

If you would like to have lunch with your child you are allowed to bring outside food. We simply ask that you call the school in advance and let us know which day and lunch period you will be having lunch with your child. Once we have this information we will reserve a location for you and your child to have lunch.
