Grove School Store is Reopened!!  

We have officially opened our school store for our typical weekly sale on Fridays. Students can purchase items from the school store during lunch hours each Friday. Items typically sell from 50 cents to 3 dollars. There are usually school-related items such as fun pencils, pens, highlighters, and other small novelty items!

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 or you can click the link here to access directly! Please feel free to contact Mrs. Matthews directly with any questions regarding the survey.
