The Weekly Update #27-7

Herbert Hoover Middle School

Dear Hoover Families,

As we move into the heart of October, our school is buzzing with energy and learning! It’s been wonderful to see students settling into routines, challenging themselves academically, and enjoying after school clubs and activities.

We have a busy week ahead as we welcome our 8th grade parents to our Parent Tea on October 13th and our 8th grade students take the PSAT's on October 14th. Parents, please make sure your students are on time and well rested for this important testing day.

As the days get shorter and the weather cooler, I hope everyone takes time to enjoy the beautiful fall season and find balance between school, activities, and family time. Thank you for your continued partnership in making our school a supportive and inspiring place for all students.

Go Chargers!
