Barrington 220 Board of Education Wants Your Feedback!
Thanks to the community’s support for Barrington 220's referendum in 2020, the district's Build 220 initiative has made tremendous progress in renovating our aging school buildings and transforming learning spaces for students. However, much work is still needed to ensure our students learn in schools that meet our community’s high expectations.
Barrington 220 is holding four community engagement meetings in March to gain stakeholder feedback about projects that should be included in a potential referendum question on the November 2024 election ballot. Together, we will develop a community-driven plan so all Barrington 220 students have access to the quality education they deserve. These meetings are open to the public. Each meeting will feature a presentation, along with an opportunity for stakeholders to ask questions. Please note that each meeting will have the same agenda. Click here to learn more!

¡La Junta de Educación de Barrington 220 quiere su opinión!
Gracias al apoyo de la comunidad para el referéndum de Barrington 220 en 2020, la iniciativa "Build 220" del distrito ha hecho un enorme progreso en la renovación de nuestros edificios escolares envejecidos y la transformación de los espacios de aprendizaje para los estudiantes. Sin embargo, aún se necesita hacer mucho para garantizar que nuestros estudiantes aprendan en escuelas que cumplan con las altas expectativas de nuestra comunidad.
Barrington 220 está celebrando cuatro reuniones de participación de la comunidad en marzo para obtener comentarios de las partes interesadas sobre los proyectos que deberían incluirse en una posible pregunta/cuestión de referéndum en la boleta electoral de las elecciones de noviembre de 2024. Juntos, desarrollaremos un plan impulsado por la comunidad para que todos los estudiantes de Barrington 220 tengan acceso a la educación de calidad que merecen. Estas reuniones están abiertas al público. Cada reunión contará con una presentación, junto con una oportunidad para que las partes interesadas hagan preguntas. Tenga en cuenta que cada reunión tendrá la misma agenda. Si planea asistir a una de las tres reuniones en persona y necesita traducción al español, por favor complete este formulario.

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.

Grove Warrior Dash!
The Grove Avenue School PTO is excited to announce its 2nd bi-annual Grove Warrior Dash Fundraiser! It’s a fun run with a twist. The Warrior Dash will feature activities along its course such as photo stations, running through obstacles, tire flipping and more! This is a school wide event geared towards promoting school pride and community spirit, while raising funds that support our students and staff. Each student will participate in the Warrior Dash during their PE period on Friday, April 19, 2024.
To make this event a success we are looking for community business event sponsors. Sponsors will be featured on the back of the Grove Warrior Dash t-shirt that all 450+ students and staff will receive the day of the event. There will also be event sponsors featured at the various stations of our race course. Thank you for your consideration.
