Hello Hoover Rockets,
Pistons Assembly
We had a lot of fun learning about respect and kindness with the Pistons School Assembly Crew and Hooper on Thursday.  Families can purchase tickets for a Pistons game on March 7th.  Join other Hoover families for a fun afternoon of basketball.



Reflections Ceremony
On Thursday, our Reflection Participants enjoyed a celebration at Hoover to honor their hard work.  Each student got a medal for participating.  Thursday night they attend the district celebration at Stevenson High School.  I am thrilled to let you know that Hoover has 3 works of art advancing to the State level for the National PTA Reflections contest. Shayla V., 4th grader for dance and Corinne C. 4th grade has 2 pieces, photography and literature.








South Parking Lot-Buses only before 8:55
We have 5 buses coming between 8:40-8:55.  They drop off the students by the front door.  Parents need to use the Parent Lot for dropping of students.  If you are arriving after 8:55 you may use the South Lot.  This week we have seen 8-10 cars dropping off in the bus lane each morning. We are asking for your support in following the school rules.  Help us keep our Hoover Rockets Safe!
