PTA News
Great First Week, Hoover Families — Here's What's Ahead!

Dear Hoover Families,


What a wonderful first week of school! We hope your students are settling in and off to a great start. Thank you to everyone who came out to Back-to-School Night on Wednesday — it was great to see so many families connecting with teachers and staff. 


Fall Sports Tryouts

Hoover is offering three fall sports this season: Boys' Softball, Girls' Softball, and Coed Cross Country. Tryouts begin Tuesday, September 8th at 3:15 PM in the gym. Before tryouts, students must be registered through the ParentVue Portal and have an up-to-date physical (MCPS Form SR-8) on file. Questions? Contact Athletic Coordinator Kyle Skellchock at Kyle_D_Skellchock@mcpsmd.org.


PTA Committees — Volunteers Needed!

The PTA is building out our committees for the year and we need YOUR help! We are looking for chairs for Outdoor Recess and Website, as well as a board liaison for Special Education. If you're interested in leading or volunteering for any committee, join our PTA Committee WhatsApp Community to get connected.


SSL Opportunity — Ball Runners Needed

Churchill's Girls' Varsity Soccer Team is looking for ball runners for their home games this fall. It's a great way for students to earn SSL hours while supporting the team! Click here to sign up.

Wishing everyone a wonderful second week!
