The Jr Bulldog Pride
Great things are happening at Grove Park Elementary!
Greetings, Jr. Bulldog Families,
Welcome back to another exciting school year! We hope you had a wonderful summer and are as eager as we are to begin this new academic adventure. Our dedicated team is thrilled to welcome your children back and we look forward to a year full of learning, growth, and memorable experiences.
As we embark on this journey together, our focus remains on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where all of our students can thrive. We believe that strong partnerships between home and school are key to our students' success, and we are committed to working closely with you to support their educational and personal development. Please use this weekly newsletter to keep you informed of our upcoming events, important information and opportunities for you to get involved. We’re here to support you and your child every step of the way, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.
Here's to a fantastic school year ahead!
- School begins at 7:50 a.m. for ALL students Pre-K-5. Students that arrive by car should be in the building at 7:50. To make sure our students have enough time to get in the building, get through the breakfast line and arrive in class to start their day, the car rider line cut off time is 7:49 (cell phone time) each day. If you are arriving on campus at 7:49 or later, you will need to park and walk your student in to the front office to sign them in.
- Changes in transportation - If you need to change your child's afternoon transportation, please call the front office at (336) 570-6115 before 2:00 p.m. Teachers cannot check and respond to messages and emails throughout the day when they are teaching. Please do not expect an immediate response from your child's teacher during instructional hours. Office hours for teachers begin after 3:00 p.m.
- Signing Students out early: If you are signing your students out early (before 2:20 p.m.), you must go inside the front office and check them out. No student early check outs will be allowed after 2:20 as students are beginning to transition for dismissal. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter!
- Lunch Visits- Families may come to eat lunch with your students. Please reach out to your child's teacher 24 hours in advance to let them know you are coming so they can plan for seating. Remember: NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK MAY BE BROUGHT IN. Upon arrival, please sign in at the front office and get a visitor's tag. This must be worn while on campus. All visitors will wait for their child’s class outside the office until their student's lunch time. At the end of lunch, all visitors will need to come back to the office to sign out. Visitors are not permitted to walk down to classrooms.
Lunch visits will end the Monday prior to Memorial Day in May. We look forward to opening this back up and thank you in advance for following the procedures.
