News and Notes for October 2017
a note from principal reid
Dear Parents,
Teachers are currently scheduling Parent/Teacher conferences. Your attendance at a conference for your student is so very important. You will receive information on the academic progress of your student as well as how they are growing socially and emotionally. This will give you an opportunity to speak one to one with the teacher working with your child each and every day. Our teachers have lots of great things to share with you concerning your student. Please contact your child's teacher if you have not already scheduled a conference or you can contact the school office and we will put you in touch with the teacher. Children do better in school when they know their parent is involved.
Thank you to those parents that have already come in for a conference or have one scheduled!
(Friendly reminder about Fall Break! There will be NO SCHOOL Monday, October 9th through Friday, October 20th. We'll see you back at South Grove - ready, respectful, and responsible - on Monday, October 23rd!)
The school office phone number is 317-786-7687.
Mrs. Reid, Principal
#GotShots?
Current 6th grade shot records are due to the South Grove Office. Students that are not in compliance will be excluded from school beginning Monday, October 2, until they have received the shots and we have a record from the doctor. If a doctor's appointment has been scheduled, please share the date and time.
Technology tidbits from mrs. collinsworth
The first screen break is considered accidental. The second screen break is considered intentional damage because you didn't follow the directions telling you to keep your earbuds out of your bag.
Please email Mrs. Collinsworth (ecollinsworth@bgcs.k12.in.us) if you have any questions about the student Chromebooks.

Miss Walker's Morning Meetings
From 11:30 am to 12:05 pm is when we do Morning Meeting. In Room 105, in Miss Walker’s class we come down to the carpet and make a circle and then we start Morning Meeting. On Monday we do Motivational Monday. That is where we talk about our Success Skills and our Quote of the Week. On Tuesday we do Thoughtful Tuesday. It is where we write thoughtful notes to others. On Wednesday we write on the whiteboard. That is where we write different things like, “We are thankful for.., Positivity, and What we want to do when we are older.” On Thursday we do Thankful Thursday. That is where we say we are thankful to other people. On Friday we do Fulfilling Friday. That is where we read the bucket fillers that people did through the great week. People write down what people did to make then feel good about themselves. We also watch CNN 10 where we learn about the world. We also, share if we want to about our life over the weekend. Two things that class 105 did, was they wrote notes to a kid named Walter. Walter is a cousin to Lillianna and he has bone cancer and is three years old. The other thing that class 105 did, is they wrote notes to a student’s mom to get well because she was ill. That is what Miss Walker's class, Room 105, does from 11:30 am to 12:05 pm in Morning Meetings.
Wonderful Wellness Class

Fall Break plans!
Alexis: My fall break plans include going down to Missouri to see my grandma, which I call Grammy. I also plan to have my friend Sidney come over. I will also be seeing my sister, Courtney, and my brother, Christopher who live in Missouri.
Dekya: This fall break I plan to go outside and ride my skateboard. Also I plan on riding my bike and going on walks with my family. The best part is when I wake up first and make the best breakfast in the morning. I cannot wait to hang out with the boys and Avery for two weeks long. FALL BREAK IS GOING TO BE THE BEST!
