Hopewell is entering the final year and a half of the grant funding it has received through the federal government's Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) program. The purpose of the program is to support learning recovery. Below are the primary planned uses we have had for these funds, and we would like your additional feedback. Please complete a brief SURVEY by December 15th to share your thoughts on which of these items you support as part of the grant, any that you don't support, and any that may be missing that you think should be included. We will use your feedback to help make any needed modifications.
