A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL - DONNA BURKE
We are so excited about the 22-23 school year! The first day of school for students is August 11th, and our school hours are 8:30-3:30.
Below, you will find some very important information. Most students are very curious about their schedules, and the good news is that we are opening the PowerSchool portal on August 1st so students can see their schedules. All of the information below can also be accessed at using the link - https://bit.ly/BumpusInfo
We will have our BUCS DAY on August 2nd from 10am-4pm. We will have an additional BUCS DAY on August 9th from 4pm-6pm. We hope to see all of you on one of those days.
Students who are NEW to Hoover will receive schedules at the “NEW TO HOOVER” student meeting on August 1st at 8:30am. We will have a Meet & Greet Luau! There will be a Q&A session with Bumpus student representatives, a school tour, & an opportunity to meet your grade level counselors & administrators.
We look forward to seeing you, and we look forward to the 22-23 school year....it is going to be the BEST school year we have ever had!!

22-23 BUMPUS MIDDLE SCHOOL INFORMATION
COMPLETING REGISTRATION
Parents/Guardians, if your child is a returning student and you have not completed online registration, please look for the student-specific link emailed to you from PowerSchool Registration on July 28th. Please check your junk/spam email if you don't see it. Complete as soon as possible. If you have not received an email with the link and snapcode, it is probably because your residency information has expired or your child's immunization record is not up to date. If your lease has expired or will be expiring soon, or you have moved, please bring in an updated copy of your residency along with a current utility bill. Please email Mrs. Stone, Registrar, at cstone@hoover.k12.al.us if you have registration questions.
Please be sure all immunization records are up-to-date. If your child has turned 11 over the summer or will be before the start of school, you must present an updated certificate of immunization reflecting the Tdap vaccine has been given. This is mandatory in order for your child to start school in August. Email Nurse Schmith at mschmith@hoover.k12.al.us for immunization questions
HOW TO SEE YOUR SCHEDULE
Beginning on August 1st, student schedules will be live on PowerSchool.
7th & 8th grade students - You can log in as a parent if you have your username and password from last year, or enter your student's username and password using the student log in link at the bottom right of the PowerSchool Parent Sign In site. This usually works better when using the Hoover City Schools issued Chromebook.
6th grade students can only access schedules through their student login here on PowerSchool. Parents will receive information on creating a parent account after school begins.
Students who are new to Hoover will receive schedules at the NEW TO HOOVER student meeting on August 1st from 8:30. We will have a Meet & Greet Luau! There will be a Q&A session with Bumpus student representatives, a school tour, & an opportunity to meet your grade level counselors & administrators.
