Welcome Back!

Hello Hoover Rockets,

We are getting close to getting back in the building.  We are hoping we will have our occupancy permit next Thursday.  The building is looking good.  There will still be painters painting and small details getting touched up during these first couple weeks.  The staff will be working hard to unpack and set up their classrooms.  Please be patient and understanding as we get the building back in shape. Please excuse our mess and know this is not how we usually start the school year.

August 12, 2016

Hello Hoover Rockets,
I hope this update finds you well and enjoying all the sunshine.  I have added a couple construction pictures to the blog.  Things are progressing nicely.  Please continue to encourage your Hoover Rockets to read and practice their math facts this summer.  I know it can be hard.  Maybe try reading before bed, in the car on the way to events or while traveling.  Just 10-20 minutes a day is great!

PARENT CONNECT
I have received some emails about Parent Connect.  If you are not able to retrieve a password for Parent Connect then that means we have a different email in our system.  Therefore, you need to email Mrs. Holmes (dholmes@livoniapublicschools.org) to have your email updated in our system.  We have a sent a letter with your child's report card with instructions for setting up your password.  REMEMBER you will need to access Parent Connect in the Fall in order to find out your child's teacher assignment.
