Heard it from the Groves ...
Building the future, one student at a time!
A Note from Principal Hudgins 10/12/18
Today we recognized the four distinctions earned by hard work and perseverance and what those mean all the way down to our Kindergarteners. We earned a star for Academic Achievement in Math, in Reading, growth overall, and postsecondary readiness.
Our Awards Assemblies are called Gator Groove. Our next one is scheduled for Oct. 26th at times throughout the morning. We will recognize students for having all A's, A's and B's, Perfect Attendance, and Principal's Club. Hope to see you there!
Every child. One voice.
For only $8 you can be the voice for your child, and every additional membership covers another child's voice. What a great way to support our school!
Currently, we have 244 memberships. Our district goal is 277; if we achieve this goal, two students (whose family has a PTA membership) will be chosen to throw a PIE in the principals' faces!!!
We have 574 students at Groves - let's make our goal to have 574 members in our PTA! If our students achieve THIS goal, every child will receive a strip of duct tape to help tape the principals to the wall!
This will truly reflect every child, one voice. #gatorvision
PTA School of Excellence Award
The Groves PTA knows that a strong partnership among our families, school leaders and community members is important to the success of our students and school. That’s why we are participating in the National PTA School of Excellence program, which grows partnerships between PTAs and schools to enrich the educational experience and overall well-being of all students.
At a National PTA School of Excellence, families feel welcomed and empowered to support student success, and PTA is a key partner for continuous school improvement. We feel Groves Elementary and Groves PTA can achieve that together—and the result will be national, state and community-wide visibility for the positive impact we are making together at Groves Elementary.
We need your help! As part of the process, National PTA requests feedback from families, administrators and teachers at two points in the school year—the beginning and the end. Your feedback will help National PTA generate a customized guide which will provide specific recommendations for improving our family-school partnership and achieving excellence.
Please take 5-10 minutes to reflect on your experience at this school and complete the attached survey. Mark an “X” in the box that most accurately expresses how you feel about your experience. This survey is completely anonymous. Please return this survey to your child's teacher by October 26, 2018.
Does this sound like a PTA program you’d really like to help with? Join us! Contact Jamie Green to learn more!
Sincerely,
Jamir Green Vanessa Hudgins
