Dear Families of Grove Elementary,

The South Carolina General Assembly has approved funding for additional days before the start of the new school year for students. These additional days are identified as LEAP (Learn, Evaluate, Analyze, and Prepare) Days. The LEAP Days for Greenville County Elementary Schools will be August 17-21, 2020. Schools are required to offer the LEAP days, but students are not required to attend.  

We will use this time to assess the needs of our students to prepare for their learning in the coming year. We also want to help your child become familiar with our new learning environment.  Chromebooks will also be provided to students 3rd-5th grade and for K4-2nd grade students as they become available.

There will be two sessions on each day of our LEAP week.  Session 1 (7:45-10:15) will be for GCS non-Virtual Academy Students.  Session 2 (12:00-2:30) will be for GCS Virtual Academy Students. Students are asked to attend one day that week according to their assigned color track with make-ups scheduled for Friday.

All appropriate safety measures will be followed to maintain social distancing, to the extent possible, and all safety precautions will be followed to help protect our students, faculty, staff, and community.  Bus transportation will ONLY be provided on Monday-Thursday, for Session 1 students, if needed. If you want to be considered as bus rider, you MUST submit the form by August 10th.

Please complete one survey for your household for students in grades K5-5 during the school year 2020-21. The deadline for the LEAP Survey is Friday, August 10th.
