Tuesday, August 20th – Meet The Teacher Night
Meet Your Teacher night will take place this Tuesday, August 20th from 4pm to 6pm. Be sure to bring your school supplies to leave in your classroom. If you ordered supplies through PTO, they will be distributed to your child’s classroom. Families can find their student’s teacher by logging into their Infinite Campus Parent Portal account and selecting “schedule”.
- 5th Grade Band Information Meeting: If you are a parent of a 5th grade student, please plan to attend the band information meeting at 4:30pm in the cafeteria. The meeting will be hosted by Mr. Brown, one of the band directors assisting with Abbie Grove. Following the meeting, an email containing the contents of the meeting will be sent to all 5th grade parents in case there are some who could not attend. If you have any additional questions, please email Tara Meinen at tara.meinen@ankenyschools.org
- Message from Abbie Grove’s Art teacher Mrs. Nichols: Calling all Art Students and Families. Stop by the art room at Meet the Teacher night so you can take a look, meet Mrs. Nichols, and to get connected to your student’s Artsonia account. We will be using Artsonia throughout the year (and years to come) as an online artist portfolio. You can see all your student’s art projects before they come home and have digital copies for years to come.
Thursday, August 22nd – PTO CHALK THE WALK
Please meet out front of Abbie Grove on Thursday, August 22nd at 6pm to decorate our sidewalks with encouraging messages and drawings for all of the students, staff and families!! Please bring your own chalk and help make our sidewalks beautiful!!
Friday, August 23rd – First Day of School
As a district we recognize that starting a new school year is an exciting time and parents are eager to capture the first day memories. As a continuation of district expectations from last year focusing on supports to ensure a safely managed environment, parents/visitors will not be allowed inside the school on the first day to walk students to the classroom. We ask that your first day of school pictures be taken at home or outside of the building.
*School hours are 7:55AM – 2:55 PM every day. The doors open at 7:30AM and students may go to breakfast in the cafeteria or the gym. Breakfast is served from 7:30AM to 7:45AM.
Student & Parent Handbook – ACTION REQUIRED
The Ankeny Community School District requires that, annually a parent/guardian of each currently enrolled student acknowledges review and receipt of the District’s current student handbook. Each student and parent/guardian is accountable for knowing the handbook’s content and adhering to the expectations that apply to them.
The handbook outlines parent and student responsibilities, procedures, and student life in Ankeny Community School District and is supplemental to the school board’s approved policies and procedures. The handbook can be found on the district website under the Parents tab.
Students and/or parents with questions or concerns may contact their school’s main office for information about the current policies, rules, regulations, and/or handbook. Please review the 2024-2025 Student & Parent Handbook, log into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and complete the parent/student handbook form.
Thank you,
Abbie Grove Staff
