The Grove School

Meeting Postponed! The regular August meeting of The Grove PTG (GPTG) is postponed.

A new time and date will be communicated soon.

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience!

The first day back for Grove School students is Monday, August 10th!

The first day will be from 8:30am-3:25pm.

7th-9th graders meet at the Middle School/Farm campus at 11126 Iowa Street.
10th-12th graders meet at the High School campus at 200 Nevada Street.

Returning students and staff will help students get where they need to go, but all grades will be meeting as a large group at their respective campuses.

The first week is devoted to orienting students to our campus and each other - we will make sure new students have direction! Paper schedules will also be given out, as well as help to get where they need to go.

We are crowing to get students back on campus!

The first Grove School newsletter of the year comes out on Sunday, August 2nd via ParentSquare. To receive it, you must have logged into your Grove student's Aeries account and given permissions to send communications. Please contact [email protected], if you do not receive it or, if new to Grove, did not receive Aeries information.

Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday, May 25th in honor of Memorial Day...

(and another reminder - the 11th/12th campout is on Tuesday-Wednesday of next week)!

All community members invited! At 9:15am in the lower level of the high school building at 200 Nevada Street (we recommend parking in Heritage Park and taking the path to the High School off of Orange Street - Guides will be present to help), 9th graders will demonstrate their leadership and communication skills by inviting their community to take action on topics they care about. These presentations will take place in a "science fair" type setting where community members can view all projects and speak to the researchers. Students presenting have worked to research their chosen topic and then create an engaging presentation to help the audience learn and act on that sustainability issue.

Of course, this means that they need their community to present to (that's YOU!). All Grove Community Members are invited to join the 9th graders as they work to make the world a better place.
