Newsletter Week of January 16-20




January 16th -20th General Announcements



Happy Tuesday! We had a GREAT week last week with  your children. Check each teacher's curriculum page to get a glimpse into all that is going on in our classrooms.  


PICTURES - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18th - Club pics, 5th grade classroom pics (5th grade pics will be during PE time)

Please help us by reminding your child to CHECK THE AGENDA each day and to make sure they are prepared for school with all of their materials, including homework.  Also, we are continuing to encourage a growth mindset!  With a positive attitude, effort, and hard work, the sky is the limit for these wonderful students!

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 received this letter along with their report card last Wednesday, 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 THIS FRIDAY, January 13th. Permission Letter for Erin's Law 



Tuesday, January 17, is our January Spirit Night at Jason's Deli from 5-10pm. Supporters will need to tell the cashier that they are with Brock's Gap for us to get credit.


Parent Academy:

Please make plans to attend the Brock's Gap Growth Mindset Parent Academy on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 from 6:00 - 7:30 pm. Parents will have the opportunity to attend two mini-sessions of their choosing from Aspire Testing to Math strategies to Choosing just right books for your student(s). Childcare will be provided and dinner can be pre-ordered. More details to come!

Career & College Day VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
BGIS is planning a “Career & College Day” -We are currently looking for volunteers! Would YOU (or a friend or family member) be willing to come speak to our students about your profession and education? If so, please click on the link below to complete a quick form. Thank you very much for your willingness to be part of this fun and educational day! 
Scheduling depends on how many speaker volunteers, but presentations will need to be 20 minutes long, allowing enough time for questions at the end of each presentation. A speaker will do the same presentation about 5 times for different groups of children. However, if you have scheduling constraints that would require a different plan, we are more than happy to work around them. THANK YOU again for your interest in sharing your time and expertise!
 If you have any questions, please call or email: 
Terri Coleman, BGIS 6th grade Counselor at 439-1634  tcoleman@hoover.k12.al.us
