Grove Student Newspaper Publication - 8th Edition

Please check out the eighth publication of our Grove 4th & 5th Grade Newspaper!! This is a new club that started at Grove this year! The mission of the club is to strive to nurture a passion for writing, promote creativity and collaboration, and foster a sense of belonging. Most of all, it seeks to hear the voices of our students. The club will be publishing one edition each month throughout the school year. Past issues are now archived on our Grove website - here is the link. It is in the "Families" tab. This is the last publication for this school year. Enjoy! 


BARRINGTON ONLINE SUMMER SCHOOL (BOSS) - Enrollment OPEN now!

Barrington Online Summer School is a unique learning opportunity for students to prepare for next school year, and extend and enrich their learning via online classes during the summer. Courses are taught by Barrington 220 teachers and staff members. Courses focus on enriched and personalized learning activities integrating many subject areas for all incoming 2nd - 6th grade students. Online summer school DOES NOT replace traditional summer school offerings, rather it is an additional opportunity available to families. There are 2-week and 4-week course options that occur between July 17th and August 10th. Families may participate in both in-person and online summer school, as they do not occur at the same time. Finally, these courses provide students with a small class size environment, and students will be provided with daily personalized feedback. 


Registration is open! Please follow this link to the course guide as space is limited.

Field Day Volunteers Needed

We are in need of more than 100 volunteers to help with our Annual Grove Avenue School Field Day

on Tuesday, May 31st. Please note that a rain date has been set for Wednesday, June 1st.  The success of this program depends on our volunteers!  

  

You may volunteer for the entire day, and we hope many of you will.  If you are a room parent in the morning session, you may only run a game or treat station in the afternoon.  All room parent helpers will need to stay with their assigned class for lunch from 11-11:40 am.  Each class will need a wagon.  Please email Ashley Rapp condon.ashley@gmail.com if you have a wagon we can borrow for the day. 


We are so grateful for all that you do for all our children! Thank you!! Thank you!!     


Best Regards,  

Grove Avenue PTO

BARRINGTON EDUCATION FOUNDATION - 220 TRIBUTES

The Foundation is excited to announce that they are rebranding the Teacher Tributes to 220Tributes. All current 220 staff are eligible. They hope you will consider honoring a special teacher or staff member to thank them for their efforts. 


A 220Tribute is a donation to the  Barrington 220 Educational Foundation on behalf of a teacher or staff member you name. Each Honoree will receive a certificate commemorating your donation, and you can write a personalized message as well. Also, new this year, honorees will be invited to a recognition lunch at the district office in June. All donations benefit Barrington 220 by providing resources for projects and grants that would not otherwise have been possible by school district funds alone.


Donations must be received by May 21, 2023. Cards will be delivered to all schools and teachers by June 1, 2023. Honorees will also be acknowledged on the Foundation's website. Because the recognition lunch is being added, tribute donations must be a minimum of $15 per recognized staff member.

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!
