Glen Lake Elementary is a K-5 school within the Hopkins Public Schools District, located in the city of Minnetonka. Our students are learning through exploration and real-life experiences. In the Glen Lake Go! program, your child will participate in 8-10 experiences and field trips each school year bringing learning to life and meeting their academic, emotional, and social needs.
Glen Lake Elementary took part in Global School Play Day yesterday, unplugging from screens and diving into creativity-driven fun.
Twenty-one educators from Hopkins Public Schools have been named among the 128 candidates for the 2026 Minnesota Teacher of the Year.

For our December Academic Update, we are excited to highlight high school excellence and the many ways Hopkins High School (HHS) students are growing, achieving, and planning for bright futures. Our HHS educators are exceptional!
The Hopkins School Board has approved the 2025–26 school year calendar.
