GROVE ABC COUNTDOWN TO SUMMER
As the end of the school year approaches, our students and staff will continue to be working hard and learning and growing all the way until the very last day of school. With that said, we also are planning to build in some fun to celebrate the end of the school year and make our last days together for the year memorable. As a result, we will have an ABC Countdown that students and staff are invited to participate in over the course of the last 26 days of the school year – one day for each letter in the alphabet. Please click on the link to the ABC Calendar that has been created for our students. The calendar shares what each day will entail!
SPRING BENCHMARKING CONTINUES - Updates with new info.!!!
We began our spring benchmarking assessments with students this past week and will continue into May. All students in grades K-2 participate in Fastbridge Assessments for reading and math. The Fastbridge reading and math assessments have already started and will continue this upcoming week. All students in grades 2-5 participate in the MAP Assessments for both reading and math. MAP assessments will begin the first week of May and will take place for two weeks.
In order to learn more about the experiences of students at school and continue to monitor and improve programming for children in the areas of Social and Emotional Learning, District 220 is asking for students to complete an online survey that will be administered starting this week through November 3rd. This experience is similar to the SEL surveys conducted over the last three years by the district. Please see the official letter from the district regarding the survey. Also, Grove is continuing to pilot the Fastbridge MySaebrs assessment (a social, academic, emotional screener), so students in 2nd-5th grade will participate in this assessment in May.
I have included a link directly to the district letter with details regarding our assessments for your convenience, as well as, a link to information regarding the district SEL survey. Please reach out to your child’s teacher or Mrs. Matthews with any questions.
