Remote Book Check-Out

Our Grove library will be starting curbside pickup for print books starting the week of September 14, 2020 beginning with students in 3rd-5th grade. 

·       Students in 3rd to 5th grade will be taught to put books on hold using Destiny Discover. 

·       The library staff will pull the books and email the parents to let them know books are ready for pick up

·       Books will be put in brown paper bags labeled with the student’s name, grade, class and be placed on tables in the front foyer of the school.

·       Parents may pick up books Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM- 3:00 PM.

·       Bins will be placed in the foyer under the tables to collect returned books when students are done reading.

·       When a routine is established for 3rd-5th grade students, students in K-2 will be taught how to select books for curbside pickup from a choice menu for personal selection


Distance Learning Resources for Parents

Over the past several months, our school and district have been working to create resources for parents to help support their children at home with distance learning. As a result, I have provided links to the various resources for you to reference throughout distance learning. Examples of some of the tools at your fingertips include recordings of the recent Parent Universities, directions for parent access to Schoology and SeeSaw, tips for managing tech. at home, and tutorials for apps. such as Zoom, Padlet, and Flipgrid.
