Grovecenter Elementary School

Posted September 1, 2009

I really hope the school doesn't close. I've had positive interactions with all the teachers and am looking forward to 2009-10. BTW, it really touched my heart when my son received a Welcome postcard from his new teacher before school started. Although it would have been nice if the lower grade teachers had done the same.

I have been a teacher at Grovecenter for 13 years. Before that all three of my children went to this school and have gone on to graduate from college. It has been a wonderful experience being part of this school. The teachers work together and actually like each other. You don't find this at many schools. We respect each other and share our individual expertise. I've been through 4 principals and each one has their own personality and exceptional qualities. The point is that although our population and staff have changed through the years, there is something about this school that keeps the test scores rising. I think it is the committment to excellence and a staff that works together to help all of the students. The district is considering closing our school next year and dividing the students and staff between 3 schools for budget reasons. How sad.

Where are the other principals? They were good. This one is unexperienced and shows it. Teachers spend more time gossiping.

Wonderful staff & PTA. There's always something going on at this school. Above all, my children feel welcome and confident & are happy to be going to school there.
