Valentine’s Day Parties
We are looking forward to celebrating Valentine’s Day in our classrooms this coming Tuesday, February 14th! If your child is planning to pass out Valentine Cards to classmates, please make sure that they have one for every student in their classroom. Our classroom teachers have shared specific directions for their classrooms in terms of how students should complete their cards and how they will be distributed in their classroom.
Please keep in mind that our room parent volunteers who are already signed up to run and volunteer at the parties are the only adults who we will be allowing admittance to the building. All volunteers must submit a valid state I.D. to have a badge run for entrance for the parties.
Fastbridge Parent Reports
Parent reports will be sent home with students on Monday, February 13th for our kindergarten and 1st-grade students who took the Fastbridge Early Reading and Fastbridge Early Math assessments. These reports reflect the student’s performance on the assessments during our Winter Benchmark Assessment window that was done in December. Please reach out directly to your child’s classroom teacher with any questions regarding your child’s report.
Parents will receive reports again following the spring assessments that will take place in late April/early May.
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.
