Hello Hoover Rockets,

NO SCHOOL November 5th
Election Day is on November 5th.  No school for students while teachers have a Professional Development Day.


Stevenson Marching Band Assembly
Yesterday the Stevenson March Band came to Hoover and performed for our Hoover Rockets.  The students and staff enjoyed hearing the Disney songs and learning the Stevenson Fight Song!  Go Spartans!

Halloween Obstacle
Thank you to Mr. O for a great week in
Physical Education.  The students enjoyed the Halloween Obstacle.









Mrs. Eckerle's Class
Halloween Parties
Thank you to the parents and grand parents that assisted with our Halloween Parties yesterday.  Fun was had by all!




Hoot N' Howl
Thank you to our PTA, staff and volunteers who made the Hoot N' Howl such a fun night.  We had great food, great games, live creatures including an alligator.











IREADY Instruction  
If you child received an IREADY license it is important for them to spend at least 45 minutes a week on IREADY. The research shows that students improve their IREADY diagnostic scores when they spend 45 minutes a week minimally on the IREADY instruction.  Please encourage them to try their best and stay focused on the lessons.  If you are having trouble getting your child logged on to IREADY try this:
1.  Go to clever.com/in/livonia 
2. Login with Google using their email address (Username@student.livoniapublicschools.org) and email password
So for example a student named Sydney Linn would use her email address sydney@student.livoniapublicschools.org and then enter her email password which is the same as her user name password that she should know from logging in the Chromebooks and computers in the lab.  If this does not work please contact your child's teacher or Mrs. Linn (jlinn2@livoniapublicschools.org).

4th Grade Team
My name is Kaiia McCurry and I am a 4th grade teacher at Hoover Elementary School. This is my fourth year teaching but second year teaching for Livonia Public Schools. Prior to this year, I have taught 5th and 1st grade, both of which I really enjoyed. I went to Eastern Michigan University for my undergraduate's where I focused in elementary education and mathematics. Currently, I am studying literacy and language at Michigan State University for my master's degree, GO GREEN! I have been married for a little over two years, and we have a yorkie named Simba. My husband and I are huge movie buffs, so in our free time we love to go to the cinema to catch the newest film. I spent this past summer traveling to visit my siblings around the United States, I have 7 older brothers and sisters, all of which live out of state. I am so excited to be at Hoover this year and I look forward to all of the fun that we're going to have this year!

HOOT & HOWL THANKS!
The Hoover PTA would like to send out a big THANK YOU for all our volunteers, donations and families who participated in our spooky annual fall event.  We always look forward to seeing our Hoover Rockets in their creative costumes having fun with friends.  We could not make these events happen with YOU
