Hoover Happenings Newsletter

Hoover Families,

I hope this letter finds you well as we start the month of March. I am pleased to inform you of a significant update regarding your child's academic progress as we continue to enhance our communication and streamline access to important information.

I will continue our work to inform you when recent data has been updated in the Infinite Campus parent portal throughout the year. Your child's DIBELS winter assessment results are now available for you to view under the student test detail tab.

Simply log in to your parent portal account using your credentials to access your child's DIBELS data in Infinite Campus. Click here for a complete set of directions to help walk you through the process. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our office if you encounter any difficulties or have questions about accessing or interpreting the data.

All of us at Mankato Area Public Schools believe we can strengthen the partnership between home and school to ensure academic success of our shared students by communicating and making DIBELS data readily available on Infinite Campus.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child's education.

Sincerely,

Mollie Meyer

Hoover Principal

Please be reminded Wednesday, March 12th is a two hour early release. Students will be dismissed from school at 12:30 pm. If your dismissal plans are different from a normal school day you MUST tell your students' homeroom teacher.

If you need your student to stay until 2:30 pm you must register your child for supervision. We ask that you continue to register each month for early release supervision as many families' plans change. If your student attends ACES or YMCA you still need to register for child supervision each time.

Parents/Guardians that pick up students please pull up in the pick up line in front of the building on Marie lane. Students will be watching for you to pull up inside door number 1. We ask that you please refrain from picking up between 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm as our staff wishes to focus their time on engaging in meaningful activities with students. We understand that circumstances may change, but appreciate your help with this request.

If you need child care for your student between 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm for the upcoming Early Release Day, please fill out the form linked below. (If you would like to send a snack for after school please feel free to do so as lunch is served early.)
