It's that time of year again when the fourth graders begin to look ahead to next year's opportunity to join band and orchestra. As we've done in years past, Groves High School will be hosting an informance where fourth-grade students across the entire district will have the opportunity to learn about the 5th-grade instrumental program and to hear some of our high school students play the instruments they will get to choose from. This event will take place on Tuesday, April 2nd at 7 p.m. in the Groves High School Auditorium.

After School classes are now available at: www.communityed.net! This includes classes being offered in the Winter & Spring! Sign up today!

Kids Club is available during the 3 half days - March 19th - 21st!

Due to a recent manufacturer change, sliced bread, hoagie rolls, and hot dog and hamburger buns provided by Birmingham Public Schools, now contain sesame, an ingredient that is not safe for individuals with a sesame allergy. Your partnership is appreciated in communicating this change with your student. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the BPS Dietitian Holly Fields at hfields@birmingham.k12.mi.us

Chartwells K12 will continue to strive to provide safe food options to all students and serve up happy & healthy!
