Not Returning to Hoover next year
We would like to be aware of any students who may be moving and will not be returning to Hoover next fall. This enables us to organize our staffing and class lists in preparation for the 2020-2021 school year. If your child is planning on attending a different school in the fall, please email our secretary Mrs. Stempeck (estempec@livoniapublicschools.org) your childś name, teacher and their future school or district. Thank you for your help!

Parents wishing to make a request for a style of teaching/classroom environment for their child for the upcoming school year must make the request in writing to the principal by submitting the Riley 5th Grade Classroom Input Form. See below. It is not possible to honor all requests.

*If you are having problems with a username/password, please contact your child's teacher to ensure that you have the correct information and then if still not working, call the district at (734) 744-2560. Please leave your student's name, teacher's name and primary contact number or email. If you call M-F between 7:30 - 4:30, they will typically get back to you the same day
*If you are having problems using a district Chromebook and the tips provided haven't worked, please contact the IT department at (734) 744-2560 or sds@livoniapublicschools.
*For issues with programs "freezing" such as during a Zoom or Google Meet virtual class, try the following:
- Reboot your home modem and wifi router. (unplug them from power, wait 10 seconds and plug back in)
- Reboot any computers connected to the home network (Actually shut them off and then back on, not just sleep)
- Don't have any more tabs open in your browser than needed and close all other programs if you are on a computer.
- Make sure no one else in the house is streaming movies, music or video games while you are on your meet.
- Test your home bandwidth by going to www.speedtest.net We suggest a minimum of 40Mbps for video conferencing and working from home. 100Mbps or higher would give the best results.
- Make sure you are not in a wi-fi "dead-zone" in your house; try some different locations for the best signal.
In addition to being our library media specialist, Mrs. Jungwirth also works with the technology in the building and is happy to help out. You can send her an email anytime jjungwir2@

Martian Marathon
The new tentative date for the Martian Marathon is Saturday, July 25th with a new start time of 10:00 am.
It is possible we could meet as a team prior to the start. I'll need to make that decision when we are closer to the event date.
The t-shirt pick up will most likely be on your own that same day. (instead of the usual in-school distribution)
If not attending, go to martianmarathon.com by June 1st. to change your registration:
1. Participate virtually on your own time. The race organizers will send you more information. (t-shirt and medal will be mailed to your home)
2. Have your registration delayed for the April 17, 2021 event
I wish all of our families a safe and healthy week.

Here are some tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to help your family through the outbreak. To read the rest of the article click HERE.
Address children's fears
Children rely on their parents for safety, both physical and emotional. Reassure your children that you are there for them and that your family will get through this together.
- Answer questions about the pandemic simply & honestly. Talk with children about any frightening news they hear. It is OK to say people are getting sick, but say following rules like hand washing and staying home will help your family stay healthy.
- Recognize your child's feelings. Calmly say, for example, “I can see that you are upset because you can't have your friends over." Guiding questions can help older children and teens work through issues. (“I know it is disappointing not to be able to hang with your friends right now. How do you think you can stay in touch with them?")
- Keep in touch with loved ones. Children may also worry about a grandparent who is living alone or a relative or friend with an increased risk of getting COVID-19. Video chats can help ease their anxiety.
- Model how to manage feelings. Talk through how you are managing your own feelings. (“I am worried about Grandma since I can't go visit her. The best I can do is to check in with her more often by phone. I will put a reminder on my phone to call her in the morning and the afternoon until this outbreak ends.")
- Tell your child before you leave the house for work or essential errands. In a calm and reassuring voice, tell them where you are going, how long you will be gone, when you will return, and that you are taking steps to stay safe.
- Look forward. Tell them that scientists are working hard to figure out how to help people who get ill, and that things will get better.
- Offer extra hugs and say “I love you" more often.
STAFF APPRECIATION NEXT WEEK / MAY 11-15
Hello Hoover Rockets! It’s time to show your appreciation for our amazing staff at Hoover Elementary. The 2019/2020 school year has turned out to be a new experience for us all. In spite of the challenges, our Hoover staff has been working together to make sure families have the resources they need to make learning at home possible. If you want to express your gratitude and do something special for a staff member, here are some creative ideas to consider.
* Email a cute video or picture with a sign
* Online greeting cards
* Online gift cards
* Create a sign for your student to share at the end of an online class, or if the teacher calls on them individually
* Have students wear their teacher’s favorite color during an online class one day (the kids will have to ask what it is ahead of time)
* Have your student type a hand written message or picture for a special staff member then scan and email
STAFF EMAIL CAN BE FOUND ON THE HOOVER WEBSITE: https://www.
**We kindly ask that any gesture of appreciation remain online due to the current situation**
