South Grove Intermediate School
News and Notes For January 2017
A Note From Principal Reid
It may be cold outside but we are warm inside of South Grove! The beginning of a new semester is always exciting. Teachers are prepared to continue with great instruction as we prepare our students for the first round of ISTEP testing at the end of February. Students took the second round of NWEA reading and iReady math right before break. Teachers are using the data to pinpoint specific student needs that will be addressed to improve student achievement.
There are so many easy things parents can do to help their students with learning. Make sure you student reads at least 30 minutes each night. Practice math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). Check homework. Parent involvement is important to student learning.
Being on time and at school each and every day benefits students. Keeping students ahead of the game is a win for them!
As always, if parents have any questions or concerns, please contact the student's teacher. The South Grove Staff is happy to help and wants all students to be successful!
Happy 2018!

Student Council Party
The South Grove PTO threw the student council ladies a small party and they were so appreciative and thankful!
That gorgeous Santa Cake was donated by Megan Davis. Kim Browning, The Vault, donated Mary Kay lipgloss and nail polish to each girl. Adrienne Thornburg got the cake donation and donated candy. Jennifer Martinez and her children assembled the goody bags.
Tasha Ramey used donations from "candy grams" to purchase sandwich materials, fruit, cookies, juice, candy canes, and all the candy for the goody bags.
