Message from the Principal

Welcome to a new school year at The Grove!  We are incredibly excited about what the 2017-2018 year will bring for our students and parents.  This year will be filled with even more golden opportunities for all of our students to excel in many areas.  As we begin this school year, we pledge to our students and parents that this will be a wonderful year of engaging, meaningful and rigorous work in our classrooms.  There will be exciting school activities, parental involvement opportunities, programs, and events that we will have at The Grove!

We will continue to be leaders in transforming lives through education by empowering all students to reach their potential and dreams.  We will continue to be a uniform school and ask that you send your child to school wearing the school uniform Monday-Thursday with Friday being a “Free-Choice” day for students. 

We look forward to a very positive and productive year together!   We extend a special, yearlong invitation to our parents to join us at school activities and events whenever you can.  Please sign up to join the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and the School Improvement Council (SIC).  These organizations help to ensure that we are providing a high quality education to our students.  We want, need, and value your involvement and support in your child’s education! 

Please join us in the reading of our book for the 2017-2018 school year book study entitled “Change your Mindset, Change your Life” by John Douglas. This book will provide the theme for our school year and help us develop and foster a “Growth Mindset” at The Grove.

Thank you.

Dr. Tracy M. Pickett
