Greetings Apple Grove Families,
Welcome to our 2024-2025 school year! We are excited to welcome each of you to what will be an auspicious and rigorous school year. While we have experienced a few changes, we will continue our Greatness at The Grove and diligently strive to ensure 100% of students feel safe, feel seen (valued), and are supported to be successful! The Apple Grove Team is filled with excitement as we prepare to start this year and look forward to achieving this mission daily with your partnership. We recognize that in order for our precious children to be their best, they need support from both home and school. We do not take it lightly that we are allowed the privilege to partner with you. Know that we are all in this together and will support one another through this journey. If you are available, we hope you will join us on the first day of school as we cheer, applaud, encourage and send good vibes and blessings to our students as they enter the building.
SCHOOL HOURS are 8:30 AM until 2:40 PM. Instruction will take place during this time. Doors will open at 8:15 AM for students and breakfast will be served from 8:15 AM to 8:30 AM. Students who enter the building after 8:30 AM are considered late.
OFFICE HOURS are 8:00 AM until 3:30 PM. During this time, our office staff will be available to assist you and share information.
In preparing for the new school year, there are a few important dates to remember:
