Semester tests will be given at the end of each semester. The policy states that students

will be exempt from taking semester tests if they meet the following criteria in a class:

Grade/ Absences

A/ 3 or fewer

B/ 2 or fewer

C/ 1 or fewer

All students with a grade of D or F must take semester tests. School activity absences are

the only absences that do not count against the student, or disqualify them from a

semester test exemption. Students that enter the district after the first nine weeks of the

semester do not qualify for exemptions.

Drop off in the morning for Middle School students is on 10th street in the "Drop Off Zone" along the red barriers between 7:30-8:10 a.m. You can drop them off anywhere in the drop off zone; it doesn't have to be exactly at the gate. We want traffic to flow as smoothly and quickly as possible.

Pick-up in the afternoon is NOT in the "Drop off zone" but rather in the Middle School parking lot. You will park in a parking spot and wait for your student to meet you at your vehicle. We do this to keep traffic for the Lower Elementary and the Early Childhood Center flowing. Please refrain from parking and waiting in the Drop off zone or the fire lane to wait for your student.

Students caught exemplifying the Ridgy Way are awarded Ridgy tickets that earn them free snacks and privileges. The Ridgy Cart opened up this last week and will continue throughout the school year. Character counts at GMS!!

The Board of Education of the Grove Public Schools believes that a student dress code is

appropriate to maintain good order and decorum as an essential part of the school

district’s educational mission. Students are expected to dress appropriately and to

conduct themselves in a manner that will bring credit to themselves, their families and the

school.

Clothing must conceal undergarments at all times. No halter tops, strapless tops or

dresses, spaghetti straps, or low cut tops will be permitted. Tank tops or dresses that have

thin shoulder straps must measure 2 inches across at all parts of the strap. Muscle shirts,

undershirts, or cut out sleeves are not to be worn. All shirts must be able to be tucked in

when the arms are extended above the head.

Pants, shorts, skirts, and dresses must be no shorter than 8” from the seat of a hard chair

with the student’s knee bent placed in the chair. Holes, rips or tears must be below this

area.

Students in violation will be asked to change their attire on the first offense. If they cannot reach someone to bring them new clothing they will be detained in ISI until the dress code

violation is corrected. Future violations will result in Administrative discretion.

Student behavior at GMS will be centered around The Ridgy Way; students will be

responsible, be respectful, and be safe.
