I believe in working collaboratively with staff, students, parents and community partners in order to continue the success Hopkins Lloyd Community School has worked so hard to achieve over the years. Through this collaboration, I believe we will keep moving our students and school forward as we navigate our way through this ever-changing world.\n\nOur school is made up of outstanding K3 - 5th grade students. Our faculty and staff are dedicated, caring professionals who love and support one another as both friends and colleagues. We want our students to work hard individually and as a classroom community to achieve an environment where everyone feels valued and believes they can succeed.\n\nOur school is committed to creating a safe environment for all students and staff, where courtesy and kindness prevail, and where there is respect for differences in other people, customs and cultures. We have developed our Hopkins Lloyd PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Supports) program to help foster a safe and positive learning environment.\n\nAs parents and educators, we must also form strong partnerships to ensure every Hopkins Lloyd Elementary student receives an exceptional education. I encourage you to participate in school activities and special occasions, as well as to volunteer in your child\u2019s classroom if your schedule allows. Together as a school community, we will build on the traditions of the past and meet the challenges of the future in innovative and exciting ways. I look forward to getting to know you.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (414) 267-0600 or\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:brownr3@milwaukee.k12.wi.us\">brownr3@milwaukee.k12.wi.us<\/a>.\n\nYours in Service,\nMrs. Ralpheal Brown\nAssistant Principal in Charge, Hopkins Lloyd Community School","_et_gb_content_width":"","_mc_calendar":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1385","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/hopkins-lloyd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/hopkins-lloyd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/hopkins-lloyd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/hopkins-lloyd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/hopkins-lloyd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/hopkins-lloyd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1385\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/hopkins-lloyd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/hopkins-lloyd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
