April is busy with getting our 8^th graders ready for selecting classes for Grove. Individual meetings with all 180+ of them takes a long time, so I am not going to be in classrooms like I am in a normal month. However, students can ALWAYS reach me on Teams thru chat or dropping by my office or leaving me a note. I am here for them even if I’m not in their classrooms!

FOR PARENTS OF OUR EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS: What to Expect

Speakers from the administration at Grove will be coming to Inman on March 27 & 28. They will meet every 8^th grade student during their STEAM rotation.

Steps in the process:

1. Grove admin will  share info about selecting courses. Students will make selections based on what they hear in class on the orange practice sheets.
2. Orange practice sheets will go home with students (along with instructions) so parents can go over their child’s choices. Make changes, write notes, and/or ask me questions via email or phone.
3. Sign the sheet and return it with your child to school.
4. I will meet with each student during STEAM to review the orange sheet for the proper number of credits, appropriate levels for academic classes, pathway choices and graduation requirements. We will address any changes or notes you have made.
5. I will make a clean copy of your child’s class selections and send it home with your child closer to April 18 so it isn’t lost. 
6. Take the clean copy to Grove with you on April 18. You can still make changes if advised to do so by administration.

Please note the message at the bottom of the calendar! This probably will change due to information I receive about registering our eighth graders for Grove. Seventh grade will not begin sex ed lessons until after spring break at the earliest – probably more into April.

Change:  Speakers from the administration at Grove will be coming to Inman on March 27 & 28. They will meet every 8^th grade student during their STEAM rotation. See the steps in the process of getting ready for course selection at Grove on April 18. This is listed with the April calendar.

Please remember that dates and topics are subject to change for a variety of reasons. 

If you wish to opt out of a topic for your student, please notify the school at least one day prior.

Please remember that calendars are always subject to change. If you see a topic you’d like to opt out of, email or call several days prior to make sure we get the message. Thank you
