The Grove Grizzly Thank you to our PTO and all of our Parent Volunteers for providing a fun-filled day of physical activities for our students for Field Day! The students loved participating in the events and had a blast!! A special “thank you” goes out to our Field Day chairs Tracy Mylin and Shara Linden for planning this special day for our students!!   Bus Passes and Bus Tag Holders A letter went out to parents from the district earlier this week regarding the bus passes and bus tag holders for next school year. Students will keep the passes and tag holders they have over the summer. Updated bus passes will be provided to students in August at our “Meet the Teacher” event right before school starts. Please note, students must keep the tag/card holder and coil, as they will need it in the fall for the new passes. If the bus tag holders are lost, a replacement fee of $2.00 will be added to a student’s Infinite Campus account.     2019-2020 School Supplies Grove purchases all of the school supplies for the students each year. To cover the cost of the school supplies for the year, a fee of $45.00 will appear in the parent portal in IC with school dues and fees in July.   The only items that families will need to purchase for individual students include a backpack, gym shoes to keep at school for P.E., and a lunch box (if desired). Please view our school supply memo for more details regarding our school supply process.   Math Summer Study Classroom teachers shared links this week with parents to order the Math Summer Study Workbooks. Please be sure to use the link provided by the teacher to purchase a math workbook in RevTracks by Friday, May 24th. Math workbooks will be sent home with students before the end of the school year and the rest of the summer study information for each grade level will be shared with families before we leave for summer break as well.   Last Day of School Our last day of school for the year will be Tuesday, June 4th! While we are ending on a Tuesday, we will be following a Wednesday schedule on the last day, which means that we will dismiss at 2:10 p.m. on Tuesday, June 4th! Please plan accordingly and make sure your child is aware of the plans for that day!   Reminders: Registration for next year is open. You must log-in to register on your IC account, you cannot register on your phone!   Upcoming Dates Monday, May 20th – 5th Grade Track Meet @ BHS, 9:00 a.m.   Tuesday, May 21st – 1st Grade Field Trip to the Zoo Tuesday, May 21st – Success Night & Book Fair, 6:00-7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 23rd – Rain Date for 5th Grade Track Meet Monday, May 27th – NO SCHOOL, Memorial Day Wednesday, May 29th – Senior Graduation Walk @ Grove, 9:15 a.m. Thursday, May 30th – 5th Grade Farewell, 6:30 p.m.  Friday, May 31st – Kindergarten Play Performance for Parents in the classroom Monday, June 3rd – 4th Grade Field Trip to the Museum of Science and Industry Tuesday, June 4th – Last Day of School, Dismissal at 2:10 p.m.   Spring Book Fair Volunteers Needed! 5th Grade Farewell       We need your help to give the 5th graders a memorable send off to middle school!
