If you are seeing this text, you answered that your student has not attended school outside of the Hopkins Public Schools District on Page 2 of the Enrollment Form.
Please answer the questions below to best describe your living situation. The purpose of this information is to ensure the rights of you and your children under the McKinney-Vento Act. The information you provide is confidential.
Schools are required to report ethnicity and race to the state and to the U.S. Department of Education. Because of recent changes to Minnesota state law, Minnesota disaggregates each category into detailed groups to further represent our student populations. Parents or guardians are not required to answer the federal questions for their children. If you choose not to answer the federal questions, federal law requires schools to choose for you. This is a last resort—we prefer if parents or guardians complete the form. State questions are labeled as “Optional” and schools will not fill in this information for you.
This information helps improve teaching and learning for everyone and helps us accurately identify and advocate for students currently underserved. The information this form collects is considered private information. You can review the privacy notice to learn more about the purpose of collecting this information, how it will be used and not used, and how the detailed groups were identified.
The following information is helpful in establishing a comprehensive picture of your child’s health and safety needs while at school. The information on this form will be entered into the district’s secure electronic data system and considered confidential. There will be no consequences for not providing the information. However, it may result in an incomplete health and safety plan for your child. The information you provide will be shared only with staff in the school district whose jobs require access to this information to ensure your child’s safety and school success. (MS Section 13.04, Subdivision 2)
Please indicate if your child has any of the listed health concerns and explain:

Minnesota is home to speakers of more than 100 different languages. The ability to speak and understand multiple languages is valued. The information you provide will be used by the school district to see if your student is multilingual. In Minnesota, students who are multilingual may qualify for a Multilingual Seal upon further assessment.
Additionally, the information you provide will determine if your student should take an English proficiency test. Based upon the results of the test, your student may be entitled to English language development instruction. Access to instruction is required by federal and state law. As a parent or guardian, you have the right to decline English Learner instruction at anytime. Every enrolling student must be provided with the Minnesota Language Survey during enrollment. Information requested on this form is important to us to be able to serve your student.Your assistance in completing the Minnesota Language Survey is greatly appreciated.
Language use alone does not identify your student as an English learner. If a language other than English is indicated, your student will be screened for English language proficiency.
These questions collect information on student access to the Internet and electronic devices used for schoolwork in the student’s home.
Hopkins Public Schools may use this information to identify students that could benefit from additional support to make sure they can access learning opportunities outside the classroom or school building. It is important that we gather accurate information from every student so that each student and family has the equipment, help, and support needed.
The information you provide will be reported to the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). MDE may provide state- or school-level summary data — without personal, identifying information — to the Governor, legislators, agency staff, and external partners who have established data sharing agreements and protocols. Hopkins Public Schools will not share your personal, identifying information with others without your consent.
