Parent/Staff Book Club
You may have heard about or read about Mindsets. We have plenty of conversation about this concept in education. One of the leading authors and scholars on the subject of Mindsets is Dr. Carol Dweck of Stanford University. Dr. Dweck writes that "success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities." In her book, Mindset, she "reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment."
We are having a Groves Elementary Book Club for our school community to collectively read and then discuss the ideas from this book. If you are interested in participating, we have a limited number of books that can be borrowed. They are available by signing out a copy at the front desk.
We will hold two discussion sessions for your convenience.

Costumes
Students will be permitted to wear costumes on Tuesday, October 31 with some limitations.
No props or replica weapons are to be brought to school. Don't bring anything that has to be carried. (Example: A child can be a cowboy/cowgirl but a six shooter and/or lasso are not allowed. A child can be a Jedi Knight but cannot bring a light saber).
Masks are not to be worn during school.
Costumes may not be gruesome/bloody etc.
Children in costume should be prepared to explain their character what inspired them.
Bus Dismissal Change
The district transportation office will now require parents to notify their office and their child's teacher of any bus dismissal changes. This is if they are going home with another child and even if it’s only for one day. Their number is 281-641-8720.
Grade Level Exhibitions! Save the date!
At Groves Elementary we are moving away from the traditional open house. We are choosing to have Grade Level Exhibitions. These are evenings planned by individual grade levels. Students are prepped to share their learning in different ways developmentally appropriate for the age level. A smaller audience on a given evening also allows for a less chaotic experience. Mark your calendars for the following dates:
Pre K - November 2 6:00 - 7:00
K - December 6 6:00 - 7:00
1st - December 7 6:00 - 7:00 & 1st Spanish Immersion- November 30 6:00-7:00
2nd - December 7 5:00 - 6:00
3rd - November 9 6:00 - 7:00
4th - December 5 5:30 - 6:30
