Attention All Parents: To comply with Alabama’s new Erin’s Law, Hoover City School counselors and administrators have created a plan to provide basic child sexual abuse prevention lessons for all students in K-5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th grades. Parent information sessions are scheduled for January 10th at 6 p.m. at Hoover High School and January 12th at noon at Spain Park High School. At these sessions, parents can view the lessons that will be presented to students at each school. Please click here for more detailed information on HCS’s plan to implement Erin’s Law, including the option for your child to NOT participate.  Click here for this information in Spanish. Brock’s Gap 5th grade students will receive this letter along with their report card on Thursday, January 4th.  If you choose for your child to opt out of these lessons, please return the letter to your child’s homeroom teacher by January 13th.

• December Fundraisers 

Book Drive - All month we have been collecting books for a school in Louisiana affected by flooding. We are continuing to collect new and/or gently used books. These will all be donated to the school for use in classrooms and the library as they rebuild. The deadline for this drive has been extended to December 15th. Books can be dropped off in the school lobby by the big TV.

Also...an easy way to support BGIS....Download the free app “Planet Fundraiser” to your phone.  There are several merchants who are participating.  You simply snap a picture of the receipt into the app, and Planet Fundraiser gives a portion of the proceeds back to the school. These are merchants that you use every day!  We encourage you to utilize this easy resource to raise money for Brock’s Gap!!
