Greetings, Viking Family.
Please see the April 7th Weekly Message below from Lowe’s Grove
I hope you enjoyed your spring break. I definitely appreciated the rest and relaxation, but I am super excited to see our scholars tomorrow. Students will return to school tomorrow, Monday, April 7th. Tomorrow will start the last nine weeks of this school year. Let’s gear up for the last nine weeks of school and stay the course to excellence and achievement. We can do it!!
National Assistant Principals’ Week
This week April 7 - April 11 is National Assistant Principals’ Week.
The week provides a platform for our school community to formally recognize and thank our assistant principals for all they do to make Lowe’s Grove a wonderful place to learn, work and grow. I would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Mr. Hamer, Ms. Faison-Johnson and Mr. Howell for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to our students, staff and families.
Cell Phones
As a reminder, cell phones are not permitted during the instructional day. We fully understand that students need cell phones for family communication and safety purposes. Student cell phones should be off/on vibrate and secured in student backpacks during the day. If students need to call home they should go to the front office to make calls home. We will be reaching out to parents/ guardians of students who misuse cell phones for an admin conference as appropriate. Parents, we ask that you support and respect our school-wide commitment to protect instruction and learning by not calling your child during the instructional day. If you have an emergency situation, please call the front office and we will ensure that your message reaches your child or call your student to the office. Students will see other important text communication by or at the end of the day. Thank you again for your attention and support.
Report Cards and Parent-Teacher Conferences
Report Cards will go home on Friday, April 11th. If you wish to schedule a conference with your child's teacher or team, please contact your grade level counselor, administrator or teacher team.
After School Tutoring
It is not too late to sign your child up for our spring after school tutoring program. Permission slips must be filled out and signed by a parent or guardian prior to participation. If you would like to inquire about available seats for your child’s grade level, please email Ms. Georgette Leary (8th grade counselor).
