Welcome to Grove Middle School and the 2011-2012 school year. As principal, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our school webpage. Our staff is strongly committed to student learning. Through the development of professional learning communities, our teachers collaborate and create effective academic programs built around the needs of our students.
Our aim is to put strong emphasis on achieving proficiency in all core areas of the curriculum. We are also committed to providing a safe, secure, and caring learning environment that encourages superior attendance and proper school behavior.
Our community understands the value of education. I encourage all parents and guardians to be involved in the learning process of our students. There are many opportunities to participate. Becoming a school volunteer in encouraged.
We are very proud of the middle school and hope that you will visit often. You will observe our team working together to ensure student success. Our district has adopted the mission statement of T.E.A.M G.R.O.V.E. which represents the message: Together Everyone Achieves More through Growth, Responsibility, Organization, Values, and Education.
If you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to call me at 918-786-2209 or send me an email at pndodson@ridgerunners.net.
Yours in education,
Pat Dodson
