Rising 3rd Grade Students
Is your second grader heading to RJ Richey next school year? They would love to get some information on your student to help place them in the best classroom! Please submit the form below to provide your input.
Fire Drill
Student safety is a top priority. As such, we routinely complete drills so that students and staff know what to do in case of a real emergency. On 4/28, we completed our fire drill for the month of March.

Still need a Yearbook?
Miss the previous opportunity to order your student a Yearbook? Shady Grove still has a few available in the front office to purchase! Stop by the office if you are interested.
From the Teachers Desk
As summer is quickly approaching we wanted to take the time to share a few ideas to help you have a great summer with your student, and maybe take advantage of some natural summer learning opportunities! Over the next few weeks we'll share ideas anywhere from bedtime story tips and tricks to technology free activities you can do with your student! We hope these notes from our teachers bless your family!
Our first note "from the teachers desk" is brought to you by 1st Grade!

Average Daily Attendance for SGE
Last Week's ADA for SGE: 97%
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%!
Check out our Facebook for fun updates from Shady Grove!
For the 6th six weeks, we're focusing on habit #6!
