The Grove Newsletter

Welcome May!
Registration is OPEN!
Registration for the 24-25 school year is open! This means that you will need to have your username and password for Infinite Campus. If you are uncertain of your username or have forgotten your password, please let us know.
We recommend that you take care of your student's registration as soon as possible. For many, this process will be quick. You may simply be confirming that all information is the same as the previous year. For some, there is vital information to provide the school through the registration process. If you have never completed online registration, it is likely that your information is out of date and this can cause problems with communication. For example, if your child divides their time between two households, both parents should be completing registration. If you have never completed online registration and have been contacted by the school several times, now is your chance to complete the process.
If you do not complete the registration for the upcoming school year by August 1, 2024, we will assume that your child is no longer attending The Grove. This means that they will not be placed in a classroom and their name will not be posted with a class on the front doors of the school mid-August. It is very important that you complete online registration.
It is up to you to complete the registration for your child and provide pertinent information. We have a computer at the preschool that you are welcome to use. This process cannot be completed on a phone, it must be done on a laptop or desktop computer.
To do this, please visit Buena Vista CO School District | Home (bvschools.org) and click on the box just below the slideshow that says "Current Student Reg 24-25". You will need proof of residency to upload in order to complete the process. This can be a scanned document or a picture of a lease, utility bill, or some other document that includes both the parent/guardian name and the physical address. No PO boxes and no pictures of driver's licenses please. If you are staying with someone, they can write a letter stating that you live at their address.
Again, if you do not register by August 1st, your child will not be placed in a classroom.
Screening Day
See below for a flyer regarding a Community Screening Event. Join us on May 23rd to learn more about your child's development, where they excel and areas that they may benefit from additional practice.
FAQs Regarding Screening Day
Q: Is attendance at screening day required in order for my child to attend school?
A: No, screening day attendance is not a requirement, however, a developmental screening is required in each child's file. If you do not attend screening day, you will be asked to fill this out and return with your enrollment packet.
Q: Is screening day really necessary if my child is already in school?
A: While all of our teachers are highly skilled in early childhood, they are not Speech/Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists or Early Childhood Special Educators. In addition, we do not have access to an OAE (hearing machine) on a daily basis to test children's hearing abilities. Screening day offers a unique opportunity for your child to be screened by professionals that specialize in all of these areas.
Q: Is this the same event that used to be held in August before school started?
A: Yes, the screening event was conducted in the fall for several years. We have returned to holding it in the spring as the additional time between screening and the first day of school allows teachers to be more intentional in planning for specific student needs, as well as more equitable classroom placement.
Q: If I don't come to Screening Day in the spring, can I come in the fall?
A: No, there WILL NOT be a screening event in the fall. This will be the only event held before school starts.
Q: How do I sign up for Screening Day?
A: Follow the link above to the pdf flyer for Screening Day. Follow the QR code on the flyer to register for a time. Flyers are also displayed at North and South Grove.
