It was another great week with the students reading for the Family Reading Program!! Students participated is some art activities and games and reflected on our book, Masterpiece, for their reward this week! Starting next week, we are inviting students to share a picture reading to a non-human friend, just like Marvin and James from our book! We will be hanging these pictures in our 3rd grade hallway as a way to celebrate our readers!

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.
