Announcements

Dear Willow Grove Families,
We had so many wonderful learning experiences on campus last week! Our TK students enjoyed their visit to the pumpkin patch, and our3rd graders had an incredible time exploring the USS Midway. These hands-on experiences truly bring learning to life and create lasting memories for our students. Thank you to our PTA for helping to support these learning opportunities for our Grizzlies.
This week, we’re celebrating Red Ribbon Week. Be sure to check out the fun spirit days designed to help students reflect on and commit to making healthy, positive choices.
As we look ahead, Friday, October 31st, is Halloween. Please take a few moments to read through this week’s Connect Ed for important details about our Fall Harvest Parade and school-day guidelines.
Finally, mark your calendars for Saturday, November 1st when our first Grizzly Carnival will be taking place! This exciting fundraiser, hosted by the Willow Grove Foundation, helps support the many programs that make our school so special. We can’t wait to come together for a day filled with fun, community spirit, and school pride.
Have a wonderful week!
In partnership,
Mrs. Lynn

Please see the attached for important dates to remember

Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, all TK and kindergarten students will begin full-day schedules on the first day of school along with the grade 1-5 students. This means there will no longer be half-day “Kindergarten Introduction Days” during the first six weeks. TK and Kindergarten students will attend school all day and follow the same start/end times as 1st - 5th grade students

The CA Reading Difficulties Risk Screener (RDRS) is a tool that is used annually with all K-2 students to assess their early reading skills. The RDRS is used to identify students who may be at risk of reading difficulties and need additional support in reading and literacy to ensure success in school. The RDRS screening process will begin in the 2025-2026 school year.
