HWS Dance Fest:

On Friday, May 9th, Hoover-Wood students will participate in the Hoover-Wood School Dance Festival.  Students have been working on learning these dances during their Music/PE time.  Parents are invited to this event and we plan to record and send it home digitally at a later date.  The schedule for the day is as follows:

9:30-10:30: Kindergarten/1st 

11:00-12:00: 4th/5th

1:20-2:20: 2nd/3rd

Students are to  wear their hawk walk shirt from this year, or a shirt that is mostly the same color.  

Thank you for your support and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Spring into Success: The Power of Showing Up On Time

As the spring sunshine becomes more consistent and the mornings feel a little more relaxed, it can be tempting to slow down the start of the day. But arriving on time to school remains one of the most important ways to set students up for success.

Every minute counts! Just 10 minutes of missed time each day adds up to nearly an hour per week and over 1.5 weeks of instructional time per year. Looking for more information about attendance in BPS101? Visit our updated BPS101 Attendance webpage to learn more.

We will continue with weekly Messengers on Fridays throughout the school year. All school messengers can also be found on our News Wall.
