They are all great teachers and all really push you to succeed while making every day fun. Hopkinson has many different programs. Their are many optional and mandatory ones. They have a mandatory Music Class run by Mrs. McEldery, a mandatory Library/Computer Lab Class run by Ms. Blake, and a amazing after school daycare program run by Mrs. Nicole. There are also many choices of optional after and/or before school classes like chess, choir, art, and more. Over all, Hopkinson is the place to be.

When she passed away, the church couldn't and wouldn't provide last rites for her, have a mass in her name, or comfort the family because as they put it, they were just too busy. Yet, they constantly send envelopes for my deceased mother or anyone at the house to contribute money to the church so they can do things for its congregation. I find that hypocritical. I find the whole way the church treats its "congregation " appalling. They need to quit pushing their political agenda (yes they urge you to vote Republican, even though the top republican is a sociopath and convicted of crimes). I guess you have to be a certain kind of person to be able to get anything let alone compassion from the clergy at this church. Good luck if you need help or kind words from them. All you'll get is an envelope asking for money.

Parent Warning: Weaver Elementary…read more Los Alamitos USD is one of the best districts in California, and we love being part of this community. Most schools -- Hopkinson, Rossmoor, Lee -- truly live up to that reputation. But parents need to know: Weaver Elementary, under Principal Dr. Schmidt and teacher Colette Sullivan, is not safe for children. Here's what happened to our kindergartener. For three weeks straight, he was removed from Ms. Sullivan's class and left alone in the principal's office for hours every day -- without our knowledge. He was not disruptive. His only "offense" was not finishing assignments. Instead of being supported, he was dropped in a chair with no desk, no guidance, and no instruction, while his classmates learned. We only discovered this because our child became so fearful that he broke down and begged us not to take him to school. The secretary confirmed the routine, and Dr. Schmidt himself admitted it happened multiple times and defended it as acceptable. The school kept no records and never notified us. Think about that: a six-year-old child, abandoned daily, completely unsupervised. Imagine the damage to his trust in school, his sense of safety, his joy of learning. For weeks he sat silently, terrified, while we thought he was in class. When the district was alerted, the superintendent investigated and disciplined both Dr. Schmidt and Ms. Sullivan. That discipline alone proves how unacceptable their conduct was. Yet, shockingly, both remain employed at Weaver, still responsible for children. This was not discipline. This was not education. This was neglect. And it happened under the direct leadership of Dr. Schmidt and Ms. Sullivan. After transferring to Hopkinson Elementary, our son's experience was completely different. Principal Garcia and his new teacher welcomed him, supported him, and restored his love of learning. He is thriving again -- proof that Los Al schools can be extraordinary. But Weaver is not. The leadership failed. The teacher failed. But I'm glad the superintendent's discipline did bring accountability but it won't bring back the damage that it did to our child. Parents deserve to know the truth: Weaver Elementary, under Dr. Schmidt and Ms. Sullivan, is not a school you should ever risk sending your child to. Until there is a complete change in leadership, avoid this school at all costs. Do not make the mistake we did. Do not send your child to Weaver Elementary.

During the special ed orientation I asked about the educational background of the school psychologists. Her response... "Why are you asking that?" She then went on a hostile rant defending her staff, but I just want to know about the people counseling my kid. Grace Delk is mentally and emotionally broken and gas no place in a setting that counsels children. BTW, Grace is not used to dealing with substantive questions from parents, as the only other parent questions were: 1. Who are you? 2. Will my special ed kid get to socialize with the 'normal' kids? Pathetic, which is why Grace Delk is herself, pathetic. A mental health professional? Absurd. If she really felt offended or that my question was hostile, she would have tried to diffuse the situation. Instead she answered emotionally. This is the darkness in the heart of man, which Joseph Conrad wrote about most eloquently.
