In the event of an emergency, please follow these guidelines:

• Please do not come to the school. Your children are sheltered and safe in school.
• Do not call the school - this will tie up emergency lines.
• Tune in to the radio and/or television.
• Log on to the Hopewell Schools' web site if possible: http://www.hopewell.k12.va.us/
• Make sure your childs school has your correct contact infomation on file.  We will utilize a automated system for all emergencies and early closings.

If the emergency and/or inclement weather result in possible school closings or early dismissals, please note the following:

• Watch local television stations for announcements of closings or early dismissals (WTVR, WRIC, WWBT).
• Listen to local radio stations (WRVQ/WRXL/WRVA/WKHK).
• Give your child instructions for what he/she should do if schools dismiss early.
• Do not call the school - this will tie up emergency lines.
