WILLOW GROVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL News

TK Orientation

Dear Grizzlies,

What an incredible STEAM Night! It was a celebration of creativity, innovation, and talent across our school community. From the musical performances to the beautiful artwork on display, and our Science Olympiad students proudly showcasing their impressive projects, the evening was filled with moments that made us all proud to be Grizzlies. A big thank you goes to Navid Farazmand and Erwin Taganas for planning and bringing this event to life. And of course, we appreciate our incredible PTA for sponsoring this wonderful event.

We are also so grateful to the Willow Grove Educational Foundation for supporting our art program, Deep Space Sparkle. It was a delight to see all of the artwork on display in the MPR. A special shoutout to Erin Snell and Trina Serrano for bringing the art show to life.


We are so thankful for each of you and look forward to another great week ahead.

In partnership,
Mrs. Lynn

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.
