Arrival and Dismissal Procedures at Grove for Car-Riders and Walkers
If your child is a car rider or walker, please be sure to watch this 5 min. video with our arrival and dismissal procedures. These guidelines truly help us ensure that our arrival and dismissal is safe and smooth for both parents and students. I have included some key bullet points below for your reference as well:
Parents and students should always use the crosswalk to cross Grove Avenue
Cars should not block the crosswalk while waiting in line on Grove Avenue
Cars should pull as far up as possible in the circle drive to allow a maximum number of vehicles to enter for pick-up and drop-off
Go to the end of the car line to wait in line heading south on Grove for arrival and dismissal, rather than trying to turn left in front of other cars into the circle drive
Drop off and pick-up students in the circle drive only, please do not let students exit the car outside of the circle or encourage students to go to the street to enter a car
Adults should remain in their vehicles in the car line and circle drive. School staff will assist students with getting in and out of vehicles
Students should have all of their materials ready to go and next to them in the car so they can get out quickly and on their own or with the help of school staff at arrival
Be courteous of our neighbors and be sure not to block driveways when waiting in the car line or parking to pick up students. Please wait in line and do not pass cars that are leaving space for neighbors to pull in and out of their driveways
Refrain from parking on Grove Avenue to pick-up students. Parents parking to pick-up students should park on Illinois or Summit. Please park in a way that maximizes the number of cars able to fit and does not block driveways in the neighborhood
Grove Parent Curriculum Night
Our staff is eager to share details about the school year and each of their unique classrooms with you on Thursday, September 15th at Grove’s Parent Curriculum Night, beginning at 6:30 p.m. At this time, you will have an opportunity to get to know your child’s teacher, visit the classroom, and receive an overview of the grade- level curriculum and classroom expectations. We will start the evening in the gym, during which time I will introduce the entire Grove Staff and share additional information about the year. We view this evening as an important opportunity to communicate with parents, and we look forward to seeing you there. Please note that this event is for parents only.

Grove Family Pictures
We are offering the opportunity for Grove students and their families to come in on two different evenings to take pictures to be added to our collage of Grove families that we will be putting back up in the main hallway of the school. The pictures will be taken on Wednesday, September 7th and Thursday, September 8th from 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Click on the link to choose a time slot to have a picture taken on the Sign-Up Genius. It is free to have the pictures taken and then you can decide whether or not you would like to purchase pictures. We would love for all of our families to be up on the wall! You may choose to have anyone that you would like to have with you in the photos, as we often have grandparents or furry friends join the photos as well!!
