The Pinnacle Internet Viewer (PIV) is now ready and active for student and parent sign in.  The PIV  is a web site that allows you to access your student’s records in real-time, including attendance information, overall academic status, and detailed grade information for specific classes in which your student is enrolled.

Note: Student passwords do not change from year to year so you will use the same password as last year.  Students who do not recall their password or did not have one previously should receive them the first week of school.  Additionally the school will be providing PIV Parent Letters that include student ID's and passwords.  These PIV Parent Letters may be available at parent nights /open houses, or may be sent home with students depending upon the school.

For more detailed instructions on using the PIV, please click here.

Hoover High School will hold Parents Night/Open House on Monday, August 30, 2010, from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.  The purpose of Parents Night is to give parents an opportunity to acquaint themselves with their student’s teachers and classes.

Teachers will be discussing course content, goals, expectations, grading procedures, and other items of interest.  Each presentation will be followed by a short question and answer period.  Teachers will not have time to talk about individual student concerns.  Parents wishing to discuss individual needs with particular teachers will be able to make arrangements for a parent/teacher conference which will be held on October 7, 2010, 4:30 p.m.- 8:00 p.m.; November 11, 2010, 4:30 – 8:00 p.m., February 3, 2011, 4:30 – 8:00 p.m., and March 7, 2011 4:30 – 8:00 p.m.

The school floor plan is in the PDF document linked below, and students will be stationed throughout the building to help direct you to classrooms.

The guidance counselors will be in their respective offices.  They will answer questions relative to the guidance program.  Principals will also be available for concerns.

Parents, please have your child complete the bottom portion of the PDF document linked below with his/her schedule and bring this with you on Monday night.

Refreshments will be provided for you in the Commons during study hall or other free time in your student’s schedule.  There will also be table displays in the Commons describing the many extra-curricular activities at Hoover High School.

I hope that Parents Night will be an informative and enjoyable evening for you.

Sincerely,

Tony Pallija, Principal, P-Z
