Hello Hoover Rockets,

Coffee with the Principal


Thank you to all the parents that attended our Coffee with the Principal event on Thursday.  We enjoyed learning more about Hoover and how parents can assist in their child's success.

COUNT DAY

Please make sure your Hoover Rocket is at school on Wednesday, October 2nd.  This is Count Day.  The funding we receive from the State of Michigan is determined based on the number of students at Hoover on Wednesday.  Let's get 100% attendance on Wednesday.  You don't want to miss our special guest who is coming for the Walk-a-thon!


Reading Buddies


Mrs. Lipinski and Ms. Charochak's classes are reading buddies this year.  The students enjoy reading and spending time with their buddy.




Hearing Screenings

The Wayne County Health Department will be coming and conducting Hearing Screenins to all students in Kindergarten, First, Second and Fourth Grade.  They will be here at Hoover September 30, October 1, October 4, and October 9-10. If your child fails the screening you will receive a letter in the mail.

Johnny Appleseed

Ms. Charochak's class celebrated Johnny Appleseed by making hats and learning the parts of an apple.  


Hoover Handbook Highlights

It is important to read and review the student handbook with your child.  We will summarize a sections of our student handbook each week.  You can access it under the Quick Links sections on our website at https://www.livoniapublicschools.org/Domain/19

Forbidden Articles
Students will not bring forbidden articles to school such as tobacco, matches, lighters, caps, knives, or laser pointers.  Students may never bring explosives, weapons, weapon lookalikes, or toy weapons of any kind to school.  Glass containers are unsafe and should not be brought to school.  Electronic toys and games, and equipment are not allowed.  Students may not carry electronic communication devices such as pagers, handheld computing devices or cellular phones, on school grounds or on the bus, except when approved by the principal.


Be Kind

Every classroom received a visit from Mrs. Bice or Mrs. Linn reminding students the importance of Being Kind and Being Safe.  Hoover is the best school and we want to keep it that way.  We need everyone's help!  Please help support our efforts by talking with your Hoover Rockets about being kind and safe.  That means using kind words and keeping your hands to yourself.  Every day we see students doing acts of kindness and we acknowledge it by giving positive compliments and our positive tickets.  When students receive a ticket half will come home so you can celebrate with them and half goes into our box in the office.  On Mondays we pull 10 winners from the box.  The winners get a gift card to the school store.  We will start pulling winners October 7th.  
Did you know that Hoover has many new staff members this year?  This week we would like to introduce one of our Music Teachers Ruth Martin.

My name is Ruth Martin I  am one of the new music teachers at Hoover . I have taught in Livonia Public Schools for 32 years. And yes I could retire but still love teaching.   My teaching career started in Forest Hills Public Schools in Ada, Michigan  followed by teaching internationally  in Tehran, Iran and São Paulo, Brazil. Needless to say I love travel and visiting different cultures.  I teach ,using a style called Education Through Music. It involves  movement, music, social/emotional skills ,cognition and language. I enjoy working with the children to find the musician within them. 

Over the years I have had many hobbies ;travel, rock collecting, flute figures, and jigsaw puzzles to name a few.  I have a 19 year old adopted son Jason who loves drawing and marketing.  Becoming a parent was the best and most challenging thing I ever set out for myself. This summer was spent getting ready for the next step in Jason's life , college.  

I am looking forward to meeting the families and students at Hoover.

9.13.19

Hello Hoover Rockets,
WOW!  It was a busy, fun week at Hoover.  We celebrated Freedom Run, got our pictures taken and enjoyed a PJ Spirit Day.

Freedom Run
Thank you to Mr. O, our PTA, our 4th grade leaders and the parent volunteers that made Freedom Run a huge success.  The students enjoyed cold popsicles after exercising their heart muscle and learning about our rights as U.S. Citizens.



Mrs. Eckerle's Class on Freedom Run

Curriculum Night/Open House

Please plan on attending our Curriculum Night and Open House on Tuesday, September 17th. This is a very important evening for you to learn about the curriculum, classroom routines and expectations. Last year we had 94% participation. We know we can beat that this year. Mark your calendars! We will have a magician in the Multipurpose Room so parents can attend the Curriculum Night sessions and focus on the critical information.
5:30-6:15 K-2 Curriculum Night
6:15-6:30 Open House
6:30-7:15 3-4 Curriculum Night

Exercise Trail
Our Exercise Trail is getting a lot of use all ready.  Students are walking laps, and doing push ups during recess.  Thank you to our own Hoover Alumni Jay Patterson for making this his Eagle Scout Project.  Thank you to Mr. Shawn Grose, Mr. O, our Hoover families that volunteered and the Boy Scout Troop.  They spend hundreds of hours to make this a reality for our Hoover Rockets!

New Mural in the Kindergarten Hallway
Mr. Poteracki was busy in August painting this beautiful wall mural to help us honor Kellen.  Kellen loved monkeys, being a Hoover Rocket and spending time with his SACC friends.  A star has been named in his honor and can be found in the Pegasus Constellation.  Thank you Mr. Poteracki for sharing your amazing creative talents with Hoover.



Student Check-Out
Please remember that a parent must come into the
office to sign-out his/her student for appointments
or early exit. The office will then call down for the
student, and the child leaves the office with his/her
parent. Children cannot be dismissed directly from
the classroom, lunchroom, or the playground to the
parent.
We must have record of the adult picking up the
child and be able to provide visual recognition of
this adult, or check the identification of another
adult who has been sent in the parent’s place.
Please know that some of our staff who are new to
Hoover may not recognize you and may ask for ID
this is for your child’s safety and well being. Thank
you for cooperating with this important procedure.
Going Home
Going home with another Student. Many of our
students enjoy planning play dates with friends
after school. If you have given permission for
your child to go to a friend’s house after school,
a NOTE from the parent of EACH student
involved MUST be sent to school. The written
note documents permission and ensures safety
without confusion. Also, when a bus is involved,
the office is required to have students give the
bus driver a Guest Bus Pass.

Student Drop-Off
What would a start-of-the-year
newsletter be without a few reminders
about the parking lot!! Mr. O’Loughlin,
Mr. Tony, Ms. Mitchell,
Mrs. Bice and Mrs. Jungwirth and I ask
for your cooperation with the following:
*In the north parking lot used for
student drop off and pick up, cars must be
continuously moving through the right drop off
lane, stopping only to drop off your student. If
you are desirous of watching your child walk to
the line-up area, please use one of the many
parking spaces to park your car - even those
waiting only a short time delay the other families
waiting to drop off.
*When dropping off, please move as far
forward as possible so that additional cars are
able to move in behind you. Our boys and girls
do just fine walking those few extra yards, and it
allows traffic to move freely.
*In the area marked “NO PARKING” cars should
NOT be parked, or left sitting, in that lane, as
it disrupts the flow off all other traffic. You are
welcome to use a parking spot if you would like
to assist your child out of the car - please only
use the lane if your child will be independently
exiting the vehicle.
*When walking from the parking lot to the
school, please always use the crosswalk so that
we can ensure your safety and the safety of your
child. Our parking lot supervisors are happy to
stop traffic so that you and your family are able
to cross.
*This year, we have four Kindergarten classes
dismissing in the afternoon. Many of these
parents are parking in the lot and walking their
children back to their car. If you have older
students, perhaps they could cross Levan, with
our wonderful crossing guards and you could
meet them at the swim club parking lot or across
the street.
*For parent pick up at the end of the day, as well
as during drop off in the morning, please DO
NOT use the SOUTH LOT, which is for staff and
busses only. All parents and visitors are asked to
use the NORTH LOT. Thank you.


Did you know that we have many new staff at Hoover this year?  Each week we will feature a staff member in this section of the blog for you to get to know.

My name is Amy West and I am one of the new music teachers here at Hoover! This is my 17th year teaching music, and my 9th year with LPS. After graduating from WMU, I started my career in Lansing, Michigan, then taught music in Ohio & Montana, then moved back home to Michigan! I have loved music my whole life, and decided to be a music teacher when I was in 4th grade! Music is such a nice way to express your creativity and emotion. I love helping children find their singing voice, and teaching them to play instruments. My goal this year is to make the music room a safe, peaceful and fun place where students can feel comfortable being creative as they explore and build their musical skills.

In my spare time I travel as much as possible with my family. I have a husband and a 13 year old son, Calvin. We reside in Farmington. I have a green thumb, and love spending time in my perennial gardens. I spend as music time in nature as I possibly can! I love hiking and camping in our national parks. Over the summer I drove my son out west to see Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, and Theodore Roosevelt National Parks. My favorite summer memory was having snowball fight with my son in August, at 10,900 ft! 

I am looking forward to meeting my Hoover students and having fantastic year in the music room!

For Kindergarten classes, I'd love to have 2 helpers each week!  If you can commit to coming every week, that would be great!  The link is https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080b4caaad28a46-library1

Christine Broom, Resource Room Teacher

As a former Hoover student, I am so excited to be back! I have taught at Johnson Upper Elementary for the past 4 years as a Center Resource Teacher.  My husband Matt and I met in our high school foods class at Stevenson, and after graduating college, we decided to move back to Livonia. We have been married for 4 years and welcomed our beautiful son Benjamin this past December. He is 8 months old and is so much fun! I am nearing the end of my course work for my Master’s degree from Western Michigan. In my free time I love to run, read, and spend time at the lake.
