News and Notes for March 2018
A Note From Principal Reid
Happy March!
We have had a great week of ISTEP testing. Students tested online and we had very few technology issues. The testing situations couldn't have been better for our students! We are working to get make-ups done this next week. The second round of ISTEP begins April 16th. Students are reading furiously to meet their AR goals. The last day for AR tests for the 3rd nine weeks is Friday, March 9th. That is the last day of the 3rd nine weeks. Report cards will be sent home Friday, March 16th. Continue to encourage your student to read AR to meet their goal. The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the farther you go!
A Note From Our District Dietitian
What's Happening at South Grove?
6th Grade Dance
We had a very special Valentine's Day here at South Grove Intermediate. The 6th graders danced the afternoon away and had an absolute blast! They even made the decorations for the dance and got to pick out some of the songs that were played.
We want to give a special thank you to Mr. Johnson for being the DJ... he played the best tunes to jam out to. We also want to give a special thank you to Memory Miller Photography for taking the pictures and putting together the dance.
Also, take a look at Lorenzo's shirt in room 112! His Valentine style was hard to beat!

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” -Dr. Seuss
Kindness Contest
We also want to recognize Isaac Martinez from Ms. Doyle's class. He had the most acts of kindness out of all the students at South Grove. Way to go, Isaac!
