Winter Clothing Reminder
This is just a quick reminder that all students in grades kindergarten – 5th Grade need to come prepared with winter clothing for recess. Students go outside all year unless the temperature or wind chill is below zero so they need to have winter coats, gloves, snow pants, boots, hats, and scarves on a daily basis. Even if there is not snow on the ground, snow pants are great for keeping students warm on cold days and highly recommended for students to wear every day!!!

5 Essentials Survey
Please click on the links below to a letter regarding an important survey for the parents of Grove Avenue School. The results of this survey will be included as a portion of our official School Report Card and school ranking next fall. As a result, your participation and input is important, as we need at least 20% of our parent population to participate. Students in grades four and five, as well as, the Grove Avenue Staff will be participating in the survey.
The survey will be open until February 14th, but please take a few minutes to complete the survey as soon as possible.
Due to the fact that our district office is located in Lake County, parents will need to choose Lake County at the login page in order to then access the Grove link. Please feel free to contact Mrs. Matthews directly with any questions regarding the survey.
