Children should not arrive before 7:30 AM each day. Parents who drive their children to school should drop them off in the rear of the school. Children who ride the bus are to enter through the front door and proceed through the building to the playground or the cafeteria if breakfast is being purchased. The first bell is at 8:05 AM. Students line up to enter the building from the playground or report to class from the cafeteria. Teachers will be in their classrooms at this time. The second bell is at 8:10 AM. The 8:10 AM bell indicates the beginning of homeroom. The official start of the day is at 8:10 AM. Any student entering the school after 8:10 AM is tardy and must report to the office for an admit slip.

School dismissal is at 2:45 PM. Walkers and bus students exit through the front door of the school. Children being picked up by parents exit through the back doors.

Vehicles are not permitted in the bus unloading/loading circle area near the main office during the following times: 7:00 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.

In the elementary schools, parents and other authorized adults who come to pick up students during school are asked to come to the office and sign out the student.

Recess
There will be recess outside every day, unless it is raining, or if the temperature is below 10 degrees to include wind chill. Students need to have seasonal clothing to enjoy outside recess. Please help your child wear or bring the proper clothes to school. During the winter months, students should wear jackets, boots, mittens, hats, etc. No students will be allowed to play in non-tarred areas without proper clothing.

Hot Lunch Program
Hot lunch is served every day that school is in session. The cost of a hot lunch is $2.25. For convenience, students are encouraged to purchase a weekly ticket. Checks may be made out to "Hopkinton Hot Lunch". Hot lunch menus are sent home with students at the first of each month. Students may also use the online debit system, "My School Bucks" located on each school's website for online payments. Breakfast is provided at a cost of $1.00. It is paid on a daily basis. Milk is sold at recess and lunch at a cost of $.40 per carton ($.05 for kindergarten). At the Maple Street School nutritional snacks are sold before the start of the day.

Information on the National School Lunch Program is sent home at the beginning of the school year. Forms are available throughout the year in the school office.
