Next week is a busy week at Hoover. Students will attend for half days of learning. Parent Teacher Conferences will be in full swing on both Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the progress your child is making at Hoover! The Scholastic Book Fair will be open during conference times. It is held in the library. In the past, Mrs. Jungwirth has been able to pick many new resources for the library because of the positive support of this event. Please make sure you stop by the Book Fair in the library.
Half Day Reminder:Wednesday, October 18th Thursday, October 19th
Students are dismissed at 12:10 on half days. We will plan to follow the established plan for how your child will be getting home on those days. If you have made different arrangements next Wednesday and/or Thursday, please let your child's teacher know. We want to make sure all students are safe at the end of every day. J

| Hoover Rockets eating lunch! |
Did you know that students who buy lunch have access to a beautiful stocked salad bar? Ms. Wilcox and Ms. Hollenbeck prepare the food for our Hoover Rockets every day. We also have a snack cart where students can purchase items for $0.50, $0.75 or $1. Eating a nutritious meal helps students learn and grow.
