Open House/Curriculum Night
Curriculum Night is an essential informational meeting for
parents of students attending Hoover
Elementary School
This year we are combining Curriculum Night and Meet the
Teacher into one evening, Tuesday, September 18th
o KG, 1st & 2nd Grade Curriculum Night:
5:30-6:15 (The L.P.S. Foundation will be sharing
information with Kindergarten Parents about the Competitive Edge College
Savings Program, at 5:30 in the Community Room).
o Open House 6:15-6:45
All Hoover Rockets will be able to show off their school and parents can learn
about PTA committees.
o 3rd & 4th
Grade Curriculum Night : 6:45-7:30
The Curriculum Night portion of the evening will be a
“parents only” session held in the classrooms.
Supervision will be provided in the Multi-Purpose Room, where our Hoover
Rockets will enjoy an assembly with Jim Basketball Jones. He will focus on two of our Climate Character
Traits; Respect and Responsibility.
The Open House portion of the evening is an
opportunity for your children to “show off” their classroom and school. Be sure to visit all of your children’s
“specials area” teachers and learn about their art, music, physical education
and library media classes, as well as his/her homeroom. Mrs. Pickerel, Mrs. Baughman, Mrs. Bice amd Mrs. VanEsley will also be available for parents during this portion of the evening.
Did you know that we practice safety drills throughout the school year at Hoover?
This week we had a fire drill and a tornado drill. Next week will be our first lock down drill for this school year. The state of Michigan requires all schools to conduct three lock down drills each school year, in addition to the mandatory five fire and three tornado drills. Hoover staff has been given specific directions on their individual and collective responsibilities during our emergency drills. They will speak to their students prior to the drills to explain and practice the procedures. They will also prepare the students emotionally by reminding them that:
- Schools are safe places;
- Teachers and staff work with parents and public safety providers (police and fire departments) to help keep students safe; and
- These drills help us to keep students safe, the same way fire and tornado drillshelp keep students safe.
Parents, please review these same points with your child at home. Remember that children take their cues from you and will feel comfortable with our various safety drills if you reassure them that they are necessary to help keep them safe in the event of an unlikely emergency or crisis. Any visitors at Hoover during the course of a practice drill are required to participate in the applicable drill. You may want to visit http://www.ready.gov/
