WORD OF THE WEEK - CARING
Caring about someone means you are concerned about what happens to them.
“One who cares is one who listens.” – J. Richard Clarke
PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
- THANK YOU to our PTO for providing soup and dessert for our faculty and staff today. It was yummy!
- Please take advantage of the opportunity to celebrate your successes as an individual or a team by using our BumpuPR@hoover.k12.al.us email address. One or two photos can be included with your blurb. We love to hear great things from students and parents. Your news is shared in a variety of places including this bulletin, our social media sites and our school-wide TV monitors.
- Please take time to regularly check your child's academic progress by going to INow. If you see a concerning post - low score, .01, or a blank - please check with your child first. As we transition them to greater independence and self-advocacy, allow them to take ownership of their grades and follow-up with teachers in person or via email. This step is necessary for their growth as an individual.
- Just a reminder - Dress Code Guidelines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ix6W8rDmcQ
