Just a reminder: Please help your child get to school each day and be on time. We have important things happening in class starting with the very first thing. Often they are things students don’t want to miss. We understand students might be sick and need to stay home. However, if they are healthy, please make every effort to get them to school.

Please remember, you need to call the attendance line if your child will miss a day of school:

Since we returned, I met with each grade level individually to discuss PBIS expectations as Eagles. I also introduced the concept of inclusivity, explaining to our students that one of our goals is to create a learning environment where every student, regardless of their background, feels valued, respected, and safe.

We set a goal to build community within each classroom through respect, collaboration, and positive interactions.

I encourage you to review the topics of inclusivity and respectful collaboration with your child whenever you have a chance.

🧣❄️ It's essential that they bundle up in warm layers before heading out! We allow outdoor recess when the temperature reaches 20°F or higher, so let's make sure our little ones stay cozy and comfortable while they enjoy their playtime outside. 🧣❄️

As the cold and flu season approaches, it's a great opportunity to remind your child about the importance of good hygiene. Encourage them to wash their hands frequently, especially after playing or using shared spaces. Additionally, remind them to cover their coughs and sneezes with a tissue to keep themselves and their friends healthy. Together, we can help our kids stay safe and well this season!

Grove Elementary is having an event in honor of Amy Burns Moore. This event involves opportunities for people to play Pickleball and also Kickball. Students in Elementary and Jr. High can put together a kickball team of up to 11 players.
