Small Groups

Reminder that fifth grade small groups meet in the morning at 7:25. In order to get the most out of group, students must be on time and ready to work by 7:25. These groups will be wrapping up by Thanksgiving Break.


Reminder that third grade small groups are meeting during their lunch time. Please check with your student to find out which day they have group so that lunch visits can be planned accordingly. An absence is allowed if the student's birthday falls during group day! These groups will be wrapping up by Thanksgiving Break.


Be on the lookout for fourth grade small group permission forms to be coming home with your child. Remember, a parent or guardian must sign the form allowing them to participate in small groups.


If you have any questions about small groups, please contact your child's school counselor using the information listed below.
