Where to check Hopkins County school calendar dates, preschool calendar and start times
Use the official Open School Calendar page for district calendar resources. The page includes helpful links for the Preschool Calendar and School Start & End Times. Hopkins County Schools also posts school-year calendar updates through district news and school homepages, so families should verify the current year before planning.
The district has announced online registration and school-year calendar updates through official news posts. A district newsletter says the 2026-2027 school calendar was approved on second reading and posted on the district website at the school calendar page. Another official district update says 2025-2026 classes start on Wednesday, August 13.
Parents should not plan from screenshots or old PDF files. Calendar pages can change when a new school year is approved, when start/end times are updated, or when weather and emergency changes affect school operations. Before planning childcare, work leave, appointments, vacations, or graduation visits, open the official calendar page and confirm the year.
📅 School-year calendar
Use the official School Calendar page for current district calendar resources and calendar updates.
🧒 Preschool calendar
The calendar page links a Preschool Calendar for families with preschool students.
⏰ Start and end times

Hopkins County Board office address, phone, email and visit planning
The Hopkins County Schools office is listed at 2135 North Main Street, Madisonville, KY 42431. The official district footer lists phone 270-825-6000 and email web.master@hopkins.kyschools.us. Use this office and phone for central district routing, board office direction, calendar questions, department help, and general district contact.
Some board meeting agenda records and special called meeting listings show meeting locations such as 2135 N. Main Street, 320 S. Seminary Street, and Hopkins County Career & Technology Center at 1775 Patriot Drive. This means the central office address is not automatically the correct meeting location for every board event.
If your issue is about attendance, a teacher, a bus pickup, classroom communication, school-level forms, clubs, athletics, or a local school event, the student’s school office is usually the faster first contact. If your issue is registration, transportation, food service, records, or board agendas, start with the official district page for that department.
✅ Contact central office for
District routing, BOE office direction, public information, board resources, and help finding the correct department.
🏫 Contact the school for
Attendance, teacher communication, school events, local pickup, student schedule, and classroom-specific questions.
🧾 Use Registration Hub for
New student registration, annual update, preschool pre-registration, attendance zones, and enrollment documents.
🚌 Use Transportation for
Bus questions, transportation staff, Travel Tracker, and school bus route support.
Hopkins County Board members, divisions and board contact details

The page lists Martha Phelps for Division I, Steve Faulk as Board Vice-Chairman for Division II, Shannon Embry for Division III, Nicholas Foster as Board Chairman for Division IV, and Kerri Scisney for Division V.
The official board page also lists email addresses and precincts for each division. Because board membership, officer roles, precinct assignments, and email listings can change, use the official Board of Education page before naming a board member, sending a public comment, or publishing contact information.
The board page links to Board Agendas, Board Divisions Map, public comment information, and meeting materials. It is the best starting point for board-related questions, but the agenda portal is where users should check exact meeting dates, times, locations, meeting type, and minutes.

How to check Hopkins County BOE meetings, agendas, minutes and public comment rules
The official Board of Education page says Hopkins County Board of Education conducts regular monthly meetings throughout the year. It also says special meetings or changes to meeting dates will be announced 24 hours in advance.
Use Open Board Agendas for meeting dates, meeting type, location, agendas, and minutes. The public portal shows regular meetings, special meetings, emergency meetings, and work sessions. Some 2026 listings show regular meetings at 2135 N. Main Street, while earlier listings also show 320 S. Seminary Street and HCCTC at 1775 Patriot Drive. Always check the specific meeting entry before traveling.
The official board page says public comments are allowed at Board of Education meetings only when the topic is regarding an agenda item. Individuals who want to speak on an agenda item must submit the online form by noon on the day of the meeting. Paper forms are available at Central Office but must also be submitted by noon on meeting days. The page states that the three-minute time limit remains in place.
Open the Board of Education page
Start with the official board page for meeting rules, board members, public comment instructions, and board links.
Open the KSBA agenda portal
Use the agenda portal to confirm meeting date, time, location, meeting type, agendas, and minutes.
Check public comment rules
Comments must be about an agenda item, and forms must be submitted by noon on the meeting day.
Verify location before attending
Meeting listings may show different district locations, so do not assume every meeting is held at one address.
Meeting caution: Do not show up expecting to speak without reading the official comment rules. The form link is typically available three days before a meeting and closes at noon on meeting day.
Hopkins County student registration, annual update and enrollment documents
Use Open Registration Hub for official registration resources. The district says Hopkins County Schools uses an online process to enroll students so families can enroll at their convenience. The Registration Hub links Current Student Registration, New Student Registration, Preschool Pre-Registration, Department of Pupil Personnel, School Attendance Zones, Interactive Attendance Zone Map, and Enrollment Documents & Info.
Use Open New Student Registration for incoming kindergarten students and new students to Hopkins County. The district says families should follow the prompts for the correct school year. If a student is not currently enrolled in HCS, the New Students link goes through Infinite Campus.
The New Student Registration page lists required annual update/registration information such as proof of residency details, parent phone numbers and email addresses, student demographic, legal, and health/medication information, and emergency contact names, phone numbers, addresses, and dates of birth. Because these details are sensitive, use only official HCS registration links.

Preschool enrollment, kindergarten registration and age-based planning
Hopkins County Schools posts preschool and kindergarten updates for each school year. The official Preschool Registration page lists 2026-2027 preschool registration and includes separate information for 4-year-olds and 3-year-olds. For 4-year-olds, the district says if a child will be 4 on or before August 1, 2026, families may complete the online pre-registration form to see whether the child is eligible for the state-funded preschool program in Hopkins County Schools.
The preschool page says families must upload or email proof of household income for eligibility to be determined. It also lists possible preschool application components such as certified birth certificate or proof of birth, Kentucky Immunization Certificate, Kentucky School Entrance Physical/Preventative Health Care Exam, Kentucky School Eye Exam, and proof of household income.
For 3-year-olds, the district says if a child will be 3 on or before August 1, 2026 and the family suspects the child may have an educational disability or significant developmental delay, the family can complete the online pre-registration form for developmental screening by appointment. Kindergarten registration for 2026-2027 begins online on Monday, April 27, 2026, according to official district news.

Attendance zones, interactive map and school lookup for Hopkins County addresses
The Registration Hub links School Attendance Zones and an Interactive Attendance Zone Map. These tools are important because school assignment can depend on address, grade level, program, transfer status, and district rules. Do not assume school assignment based only on city name, ZIP code, subdivision name, or the nearest campus.
Families moving into Hopkins County should use the attendance zone resources before signing a lease, purchasing a home, arranging transportation, or choosing a school. If the map result conflicts with information from a landlord, real estate listing, or search result, contact the district or the school to verify the official assignment.
🧭 Address-based planning
Use the official attendance zone map before assuming a school assignment.
🏠 Moving families
Check the address before making housing, childcare, or transportation decisions.

The transportation page says to reach Transportation Department staff, call 270-825-6100, Ext. 22510. The same page includes links for Travel Tracker and Transportation Department Staff. It also posts hiring information for bus drivers and bus monitors.

The district says Hopkins County Schools operates 12 school cafeterias with staff dedicated to providing healthy and delicious breakfasts and lunches to students. It also reports that district cafeterias served an average of 2,197 breakfasts and 4,105 lunches daily during 2023-2024.
The Food Service page says all students can eat free through the Community Eligibility Provision.
