Dear Grove Elementary Families, 

 On behalf of the Grove family, we would like to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year! We hope you have enjoyed the summer and are rejuvenated for the upcoming school year. As students pack their bags to return to school, we think of all the wonderful adventures that await them here. At Grove Elementary our staff is dedicated to creating an educational environment that is safe, accepting, and welcoming to every student. We do this through a continued focus on building positive relationships, growing trust, and providing rigorous learning opportunities for all our students. 

Our staff also believes that leadership is created from within and that EVERY student is a leader waiting to shine. Through our R.O.A.R. expectations (Respect, Ownership, Attitude, and Responsibility) we believe strongly in building leadership skills in every student that will ultimately give them the ability to thrive in our ever changing world… and also help them to lead others towards a positive future. 

At Grove Elementary we recognize that our jobs would not be complete if we didn’t do our best to reach across the table and join hands with all our families. Your children need to see that we are partners in their education and that together we will support the work they do here at school. One way to accomplish this goal is to have clear and open communication. Therefore, if we can assist you in any way, feel free to stop by, call, or email us at any time.  Please look for our Grove Family Handbook to be coming home soon that will describe in detail our policies and procedures for daily operations and positive behavior intervention supports (PBIS). Other ways of receiving school information is through the Grove Elementary website, our “Upcoming Events” weekly newsletter (sent on Wednesdays), our quarterly newsletter, and text messages sent directly from our office.

On behalf of our entire staff, we look forward to collaborating with each one of you to provide the best possible educational experience for your children this year.  

Sincerely,

Jeff Ingrum, Principal
