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 the beginning of April, but please take a few minutes to complete the survey as soon as possible. It takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

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. Links to the survey site are included in the letter! Please feel free to contact Mrs. Matthews directly with any questions regarding the survey. 


3rd-5th Grade Winter Virtual Musical 

The Grove 3rd-5th graders have worked hard to record a musical program for our Grove families!  Mrs. Boyer will be sending out a virtual program for the event via IC on Wednesday, January 26th.  The program will have a link to the musical recording, as well as some poems read by our Grove 5th graders. We hope families will make this a fun and celebratory event for our students! Perhaps popping some popcorn and making some hot cocoa to enjoy as you watch the program together as a family will be fun!!  I have included a link to directions for how to connect either an iPad or computer to your TV if you wish to view the program on a larger screen!! You of course can also gather the family around a device, but it might be beneficial to comfortably watch the event on your TV screen!!  We hope that this program of light and positivity brings joy to your family this winter season!


4th and 5th Grade Speech Tournament 

Speech Tournament 2022 is on!! This year’s speech tournament will be held on two early evenings, Monday, March 7th and Tuesday, March 8th. The tournament will be in-person at Grove School, with an option to perform virtually through Zoom.  All of our 4th and 5th grade students are invited to participate.  Students may participate as a solo, duet, or group. We have scripts available in Spanish or English. An informational meeting for students was held during the school day this past week. Students who attended received details about the tournament and had the opportunity to sign up and pick scripts.  Pieces will be available for students to consider performing if they so choose or students may choose to write their own script.  There is still time for students to sign-up, even if they didn’t attend the information session. Applications can be accessed by students via the Schoology Speech Tournament page! Please contact Mr. Bergquist rbergquist@barrington220.org  or Mrs. Shiroda MShiroda@barrington220.org with questions about the tournament.
