We had a great first week of 2017 at Hoover. Students will begin taking the I-READY Diagnostic Assessment this week. The I-READY instruction is turned off while students finish their diagnostic. All students Kindergarten through 4th grade will take the math and literacy portion of the assessment. We will be using both computer labs and our new Chromebooks! The best way to help your child prepare for these assessments is to encourage reading at home, completing math home links and of course getting a good nights sleep. Our Hoover Rockets need 9-11 hours of sleep a night! So if they wake up at 7:30 am, they should be asleep by 9:00 p.m.
