Average Daily Attendance for SGE
Last Week's ADA for SGE: 94.35%
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. Check out SGE's ADA trends in the chart above.
"98 IS Great!" We'll celebrate as a campus when we hit a week with 98% attendance!
We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work for 98%!
Caught with Character!
Woo-hoo to our Leader of the Pack this week! While lining up at the car rider line, a teacher dropped some papers and didn't realize it. Kingston noticed nobody picked it up, so he did and gave it to the teacher! Way to show kindness, kiddo!
Academics + Character = Success
Say Something Week: March 3-7

Bad Weather Drill
Emergency preparedness is a top priority, and the season for bad weather is approaching. A successful Shelter-in-Place drill was held last week at the Grove so that students know where to go and what to do in the event of extreme weather.
Read Across America Day, March 2
Each year, National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The annual event is part of Read Across America, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. Children and youth in every community across the United States are called to celebrate reading and encouraged to read wherever they are.
Dr. Seuss Week
In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday and Read Across America Day (March 2), Mrs. Darlene Denton annually coordinates Dr. Seuss days at the Grove. She shares fun facts about the famous author and his literature. Numerous guests from the community volunteer time to share a Dr. Seuss read-aloud with each and every class! It's always a light-hearted time together centered around the fun found in books!
