Dear Hoover Rockets,

Staff Appreciation Week 

Thank you for all the wonderful treats, school supplies, flowers and gifts.  We feel so lucky to be surrounded by such a caring community. It was fun to watch our Hoover Rockets delivering items throughout the week.  The building was filled with smiles!




LAST DAY OF SCHOOL The last day of school is June 15th!  June 14th and June 15th are half days.  Students will be dismissed at 12:10.  There was an error in the Hoover Highlights!  

National Bike to School Day

Congrats to all the families that bike to school this week.  It was great to see the bike rack full.  Keep it up!  Heart! Heart! Heart!

4th Graders Visit Riley

Our 4th grade students went to Riley on Thursday and met their Pen Pal, the administrators and got a tour of the building.  They are looking forward to becoming Riley Wildcats!

Parent Connect Reminder

Please take a few minutes to make sure that you are familiar with your Parent Connect account. It is an important resource for information about attendance, teacher assignments, lunch account balances and much more!  This is the way that students will find out who their teacher is in the fall.  The following information was in one of last year’s Hoover Highlights:

Teacher Assignments will be posted on Parent Connect ONLY in the Fall.
Reminder: ELEMENTARY parents, please log into Parent Connect via our website to make sure you are connected! If you’ve never used Parent Connect, you’ll want to log in prior to next school year, when LPS will post ELEMENTARY teacher/classroom assignments in Parent Connect. We will not be mailing a letter with your child’s teacher assignment.
To access Parent Connect, go to the Parents tab at livoniapublicschools.org and click on Parent Connect. Log in with your user name and password, which was issued at the time of registration. There, you may check classes, assignments, grades, attendance, cafeteria accounts, transportation assignments and more, in addition to managing account settings. If you do not have your log-in, please contact Mrs. Holmes (734-744-2730).

Did you know that earlier this year Ms. Fortier was providing reading instruction before school?  We are so lucky to have such an amazing, dedicated, compassionate staff at Hoover.  They work countless hours to prepare engaging lessons and hands on activities.  I appreciate each and everyone on our staff who contribute to making Hoover an amazing community or learners.
A big THANK YOU to all the families that donated to our Staff Appreciation Week and helped to spoil our Hoover Staff!!! Our week included breakfast, candy bars, popcorn bar, lunch and gift cards. This was a busy week and we sincerely thank you for helping to make it a success.
    

Spree Wristbands will be on sale starting the week of May 14th and will continue until May 30th. Please watch for more information to come home via backpack mail. This is a great way to save money while enjoying the Spree and also raise money for Hoover PTA.
