It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I welcome our students back for the 2019-2020 school year! I am honored to be serving as the Coordinator for Howard Optional Placement Program (HOPP).
Howard Optional Placement Program strives to instill in students appropriate character traits. Students will be held accountable for their behavior and their actions. At HOPP, students will be held to high academic standards. We take great pride in ensuring that our students participate in learning opportunities that foster appropriate behaviors and character traits. We believe that all of our students can and will be successful.
We expect each student to grow and be ready to transition back to their home school equipped with the necessary strategies and tools to help them remain successful in their home schools as well as provide the foundation of skills needed to be successful later on in life.
I encourage parents, guardians, and community members and organizations to remain actively engaged in our school. Attendance at our monthly parent workshops promote healthy relationships and stronger bonds for the success of our students. Please check our website frequently for information on what is happening at Howard Optional Placement Program. Our monthly newsletters will be available via website but a hard copy can be obtain if requested.
I am excited and looking forward to a great and successful school year as we continue to strengthen the whole student-educationally, behaviorally, and socially.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kendra J. Greene , Coordinator
