Parents,
State testing will begin soon. Below you can see the scheduled testing dates for each grade. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE ALL STUDENTS AT SCHOOL ON TIME FOR THE DAYS OF THEIR TESTS. However, please don't send your child with a fever to school that day. Our teachers are reviewing material for the tests and preparing students for testing, so it is important that we have all students in attendance before testing also.
Please take note of when your student(s) is/are testing and make adjustments to scheduled appointments if necessary. It is extremely important that we have ALL students at school on time for the days of their tests.
#thegrove is looking forward to a successful testing period this year.

While we are all waiting on the Solar Eclipse this Monday, be sure to take some time to read the safety precautions and tips for safe viewing. I've got my glasses and a filter for my phone in hopes of catching a great shot! Don't forget, #thegrove will be having virtual days 4/8 and 4/9 and will not have in person attendance at school. All students should have brought home paper packets to complete for the virtual days.
