Hooper Elementary had a memorable first day of school on Monday. A power outage occurred, which led to having a "lantern lunch" and no school the following day.

We are very proud of all our amazing students for being brave and resilient during this unexpected event. Also, all of our teachers and staff for jumping in and helping wherever they were needed.

We are so happy to be back together again and look forward to a great school year!

Dear Parents & Guardians,

Our crews are continuing to work on the electrical issue with the school’s main transformer. In the meantime, a large generator has been installed to temporarily provide power. This will allow us to operate the lights, essential kitchen equipment, security cameras, internet, and the phone system. Portable A/C units will also be placed throughout the building for a couple of days to bring down the internal temperature since the main A/C unit has been offline.

Classes will resume on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. As a reminder, the remainder of the week will follow an early-out schedule. We do not yet have a timeline for when the transformer will be repaired, but we are confident that the backup systems will allow us to safely hold classes while the work continues.

Regarding the missed school day, we are determining whether that day will need to be made up later in the school year. State law requires students to attend a minimum of 180 school days. We will keep you updated as we receive more information.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we continue to work through this issue.


Sincerely,

Principal Quinn Karlinsey

Dear Parents & Guardians,

We are continuing to work on the electrical issue involving a transformer at our school. While a portion of the building currently has power for lighting, other areas remain without power. There is also no air conditioning or power to operate refrigerators, the freezer, and other kitchen equipment, and our camera and phone systems are currently down.

Unfortunately, the electrical issue will not be resolved in time to safely hold classes tomorrow. Therefore, school will be cancelled for Tuesday, August 25, 2026. This will give our maintenance crews additional time to bring in a backup generator to attempt to restore essential systems.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. We also appreciate everyone’s efforts in getting through the first day of school today. Our priority is to ensure that our students and staff have a safe and comfortable environment in which to learn and work. We will provide timely updates as we continue to assess the situation.


Sincerely,

Principal Quinn Karlinsey
