Fall Assessments 

We will begin our fall assessments with students this coming week. All students in grades 2-5 participate in the MAP Assessments for both reading and math. All students in grades K-2 participate in Fastbridge Assessments for reading and math. Fastbridge assessments will begin the week of September 11th. Grove is also piloting the Fastbridge MySaebrs assessment (a social, academic, emotional screener), so students in 2nd-5th grade will participate in this assessment during the last week of September .Please be sure to read the district letter with details regarding our assessments. I have included a link directly to the letter for your convenience. I have also included a link to the MAP Assessment letter for our 2nd-5th grade students. 


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 7th 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.

Family Pictures 

We are offering the opportunity for Grove families to come in on two different evenings to take family pictures to be added to our collage of Grove Families in the main hallway of the school. The pictures will be taken on Tuesday, September 5th and Wednesday, September 6th from 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. It is free to have your picture taken and you can decide once you view the pictures whether or not you would like to purchase them. The school does receive a copy of the photo automatically for our Family Picture wall even if you choose not to purchase. 


Please click on the link to the Sign-up Genius to sign up for a time slot to come and get your family picture taken!!
