"It takes a village to raise a child."

Thank you for being a part of ours, as we hope that you know, we are a part of yours. Our dedicated Hoover staff show up every day, rain or shine, to ensure that every student who walks into Hoover feels welcomed, loved, and supported. And that every day is new, no matter how the previous day went.

This AMAZING Hoover community not only gives their all to our students but also gives their all to their own families. We hope you take some time to look through these slides to get to know who we are and what our interests and passions are. These interests and passions are often why we choose to have a career in education.

Veterans Day is fast approaching! This year, we will have an All-School Assembly to learn about Veterans Day on Monday, November 11. We would like to invite any family members who have served to attend our Veterans Day Assembly to be celebrated. If you or a family member are unable to attend, you can still complete and return the invite with the name(s) of those who served and still be recognized in our building. Invites will be sent home the week of October 7th

We are also hosting a Veterans Day Poster Contest for students to enter. Students can draw an important Veteran in their life or create a poster about what Veterans Day means to them. Posters need to be returned to school by due by Friday, November 1st, and selections will be chosen and announced by Wednesday, November 6th. Winners will have the opportunity to present their posters during our Veterans Day Assembly on Monday, November 11. Poster paper and directions will also be sent home (white poster paper and info sheet).

Please reach out to your student's teacher with any questions.

Please send an extra pair of pants and underwear for your child in case there is an accident (bathroom, breakfast/lunch spill, etc.). The health office loves donations of gently used sweatpants and leggings sizes 5-10. We also appreciate new packs of underwear for boys and girls sizes 5-10.

The health office has free at home Covid tests. Email Darlene.Anderson@ahschools.us and we can send them home with your child.

Wondering if your child is well enough to come to school? Click here for more information.

If your child goes to the doctor or dentist, please request a doctor's note and send it with your child for attendance purposes.

So much is happening at Hoover! Be sure to get your volunteer application completed to stay up to date on all the happenings at Hoover. Don't forget, students can volunteer also at some events!

We have our first field experience coming up in November plus many more throughout the year! Those 18 years or older wanting to chaperone these events must have a volunteer application and background check in at least 2 weeks prior to the event or they will not be eligible to attend!

Sign ups for all these opportunities and more can be found here.

Just a reminder that any volunteer 18 years or older must complete the volunteer application and background check each school year. Those 17 and younger only need to complete the volunteer application each school year.

Thank you so much for all you do for our school!

Please reach out Tina Fletcher, Volunteer Service Coordinator, at Tina.Fletcher@ahschools.us or 763.506.2830 with any questions.
