This night sets the stage for a successful school year. You will receive valuable information about how our school’s instructional programs, how to support your child with the Common Core State Standards, sign up to volunteer, and visit your child’s classroom.

The uniform consists of:

• navy blue or khaki cotton pants, shorts, skirts or jumpers
• a polo shirt (collared) in either red, white, or navy blue
• Shoes: All footwear should be safe and secure in nature. To prevent injuries students may not wear open-toed shoes or sandals. High, platform shoes and shoes with wheels are not allowed. Spirit Days

Spirit Days

• TUESDAYS are College Days - Wear your favorite college shirt
• FRIDAYS are Spirit Days, show your Hoover Hawk pride! Wear your Hoover shirt or a red shirt with jeans that have not holes or fraying

• All TK & Kindergarten should be dropped off at the library at 7:40am - 8:00am.
• Classroom teachers will pick up their students at 8:00 AM from the library to walk them to class.

Lunch/Breakfast Info:

A lunch application must be completed each year for free or reduced lunch. Applications are available in the office and will be sent home on the first day of school.

• Lunch deliveries: Please plan ahead and send your child with their lunch in the morning in order to minimize disrupting classroom instruction during the school day.
• Although our district was fortunate to receive a grant for FREE breakfast and lunch for ALL students, we kindly request ALL families to complete a meal application as this supports ongoing school funding.

Closed Campus Policy:

• In order to keep our campus safe, visitors will not be permitted to enter the school grounds during school hours. All visitors will need to check in at the office and classroom volunteers will have to be cleared by the office and their classroom teacher before working in the classrooms.
• The policy above will take effect on TBD. This will allow parents and students the first couple of days of school to get acquainted with their new teachers and classrooms the first couple of days of school.

Attendance:

• Your child’s attendance and getting to school on time is critical in supporting your child in becoming successful. Please make sure your child gets to school on time every day. In the event your child is ill, please call our office to report his/her absence.
• Students who arrive to school after the 8:15 AM bell will have to visit the school office for a tardy slip before entering their classroom.

School Supplies

Every grade level has a different class supply list. Please refer to the suggested school supply lists, sent home with your child’s report card in June, (also available on our website: hoover.whittiercity.net and Facebook), as you complete your back to school shopping.
