Welcome to Pine Grove Elementary!
At Pine Grove Elementary, your child will learn in an environment defined by our motto: “Building The Bridge From Foundation To Innovation”. This motto means that your children will learn foundational skills of reading, writing, computation, and problem-solving in engaging and innovative ways. But our teachers don’t stop here. They will provide opportunities for students to apply these foundational skills to real-world learning experiences. Our teachers are all certified and over 85% have advanced education degrees beyond a Bachelor’s. Our staff goes above and beyond to know your child and meet their personalized learning needs at their level.
The Arts are alive at Pine Grove! PGE values your child’s daily learning experiences through our Specials programming consisting of Physical Education, Music, and Art. Three days a week, your student will also attend Specials PLUS, which is a 30-minute additional Specials block in Technology, Health & Wellness, and Libary. We know your child will love being a student at Pine Grove Elementary where we balance academics, health and wellness, and the arts!
We are fortunate that our students come to school each day ready to learn. Our community supports learning through thousands of volunteer hours each year and is involved in our organized parent groups of PGEA and SAC. Because our students are so well supported at home, they are ready to take on many leadership opportunities in addition to their academic work. When your child attends Pine Grove, they will have the opportunity to join many different clubs and organizations during the school day, as well as before and after school. Our student leadership groups consist of The Kindness Team, Community Service Team, Green Team, Safety Patrol, and National Elementary Honor Society.
Proud to be a Panther!
