Message from the Principal

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year at Pine Grove Elementary School! We are looking forward to an exciting and rewarding school year. This year will be filled with many opportunities for our students to excel academically and participate in many extracurricular activities. Here at The Grove, we seek to provide a high quality education for all students.

We anticipate that parents and other stakeholders of Pine Grove will work with us in providing a wonderful year of engaging and meaningful activities for our students. Many exciting school activities will be provided for students. Upcoming October events include our Fall Ball.

We will continue to be a uniform school and we ask that you send your child to school wearing the school uniform Monday through Thursday with Friday being a “Free Choice” day for students. The field trip attire will be school uniforms even if the field trip takes place on Fridays. Students who wear their uniforms weekly, will be able to participate in the Uniform Party at the end of each month.

We extend a special, yearlong invitation to our parents to join us at school activities and events. 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 need and value your involvement and support. We are also a Title One school. Title One meetings will be held several times throughout the year. If you would like to provide input regarding academic achievements and improvements, please attend the meetings.

Please join us in the reading of our book for the 2019-2020 school year book study entitled “Teach Like a Pirate” by Dave Burgess. This book will provide the pirate theme for our school year and help us develop and foster a "Sailing into Success” atmosphere here at The Grove. Parents please remember that you are also a part of our wonderful team.

Thank you.

Tracy M. Pickett, Ed.D F
