Important Information for Incoming High School Students & Families

Dear Students and Families,
We are thrilled to welcome you to Hoover High School! As you begin this exciting transition from middle school, we want to share a few important policies and procedures to help make your start as smooth as possible.
At Hoover, we encourage students to build independence and responsibility, and part of that includes coming to school fully prepared each day. Please make sure your student arrives each morning with all the items they need, including:
  • Backpack
  • Chromebook and charger
  • Instruments
  • Uniforms or clothing for extracurriculars
  • Lunch/money
  • Any necessary school supplies
Drop-Off Policy
To minimize classroom disruptions, Hoover High only accepts emergency medical item drop-offs during the school day (e.g., medication, inhalers, emergency replacement clothing, feminine supplies, etc.). We do not accept forgotten items such as instruments, lunches, or Chromebooks at the office.
However, parents are welcome to meet students in the lobby during their Crew period or between class bells if they need to hand something off directly. In addition, athletic gear may be dropped off directly at practice locations after school.

To support rising 9th-grade parents in the fall, Hoover High put together an "HHS Who Can Help Me" form featuring key staff names and email addresses for easy reference.  

We appreciate your support in helping students build daily habits that lead to success in high school and beyond. We’re so glad you’re joining the Hoover community and look forward to a fantastic year!
