Kindergarten Round-Up for 2024-2025
Do you have a child entering kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year? Barrington 220 is implementing free full-day kindergarten at all of our elementary schools in August 2024. Each elementary school is holding an in-person information session on Thursday, Feb. 1 at 6:00 p.m. in their buildings. If you plan to attend, please fill out this form.
In addition to full-day kindergarten at each of our eight elementary schools, Barrington 220 offers three optional programs. These include our innovative new Kindergarten Lab Program or "K-Lab" at Barrington High School, the Spanish Dual Language Program, and the Chinese Immersion Program.
Please check out the Kindergarten Information Hub on the district website for more information about all kindergarten programming in District #220.

Winter Benchmarking Assessments
We began our winter assessments with students earlier this month. All students in grades K-2 participate in Fastbridge Assessments for reading and math. The Fastbridge reading and math assessments will continue to be conducted into this coming week. All students in grades 2-5 participate in the MAP Assessments for both reading and math. MAP assessments started this week. Grove is also piloting the Fastbridge MySaebrs assessment (a social, academic, emotional screener), so students in 2nd-5th grade will participate in this assessment in January. I have included a link directly to the district letter with details regarding our assessments for your convenience. Please reach out to your child’s teacher or Mrs. Matthews with any questions.

Packs of Plenty: We are looking for volunteers to help with packing and delivering food back to Grove on Thursday mornings. The winter months tend to have less volunteers and we would love your support! This is a wonderful (and very easy) way to give back to our community, and specifically to some of our students! Thank you for your consideration.
PTO Dates to Know: Please note the updated dates for Tae Kwon Do and the time for our Valentine's Day Classroom parties due to the Wednesday early release day schedule.
