It's a new school year!

Greetings 5/6 Hoover Families!

I am looking forward to the first day of school tomorrow! Welcome back 6th grade families, new 5th and 6th grade families and new families to Hoover! Below are a few items I want to address to ease into the new school year. If you have additional questions, please let me know.

-I've sent out an email with this information. If you did not receive an email, let me know and I will add you to the list.

-At the Ice Cream Social last night, there were papers available to pick up: A letter from me (including a little bit about our classroom this year), a class schedule, lunch assistance and a parent-student questionnaire. If you did not receive some or any of these sheets, let me know and today I will slip them in your child's take home folder for Thursday.

-The questionnaires are a great way to learn more about your child and for you to share your input with me. You are welcome to send these questionnaires back with your child on Friday or Monday of next week.

-Planners have not yet arrived to Hoover, but students will receive identical planner pages in a packet. You can expect these to come home every night starting Thursday with notes, assignments or messages.

-Parent volunteers: Students are fortunate to have many people teach them about their experiences as well as share their time and talents. If you would like to be a part of field trips, class celebrations, you can email me your preferences. Additionally, if you would like to share your ideas or services as a guest speaker, class reading guest, or in other areas, please email me as well.


May this be a year filled with joy and learning celebrations!

Go Hoover Hawks!
