Enrollment Management for 2016-17
Just want to keep all of you in the loop with the changes regarding enrollment management for next school year. In an effort to balance class sizes at all CG schools as our community grows, Maple Grove will gain around 85 students from CGES next school year. Affected neighborhoods include Enclave, Mark I, Tremont, and Clary Crossing Apartments. Postcards were mailed to all residents of those neighborhoods today, and a community informational meeting is planned on Monday, February 29, 2016 from 7-8pm in the CGHS Auditorium.
CGCSC has a full website of information active at www.centergrove.k12.in.us/enrollmentmanagement. This page includes the information above, along with maps, dates/guidelines for transfer and grandfathering applications, and frequently asked questions.
