A note from dr. stocks
Thank you for all you did to help make our time of distance learning as successful as possible. You have worked hard. Your children have worked hard. Our teachers have worked hard. I hope you will take a little time to relax and have some fun with your children.
After your little break, make sure your children are reading and working on their math skills. This will really help your children as we start the next school year.
Report cards will be mailed on May 26, 2020. Remember that 4th nine weeks grades and final grades will be pass/fail.
If you have issues with your Chromebook over the summer, contact Mrs. Williams at shwilliams@hoover.k12.al.us
We will keep you updated over the summer as we need to share information. Be on the lookout for an email from Infosnap on June 8 so that you can complete your online registration. It is very important to complete this fully and accurately. This is the information that we use in our student database.
Have a wonderful summer!
