Parents and Community Members,

The safety of our students and staff is always our first priority. After assessing the damage at our elementary school and consulting with the contractors about the work ahead of us, we have made the decision to remain at Drane Learning Center for the remainder of the school year. Bus routes, car drop-off and pick-up will remain the same.

Parents,
The drop-off and pick-up location at Drane Learning Center is on 18th street - marked in yellow. It is a one-way street. Please drive the direction of the red arrow. The campus wants to remind drivers not exit their cars during drop-off and pick-up times. School starts Tuesday, February 23, 2021.

The dates for Spring Portraits were left off the order forms. Here are the dates: PreK through 2nd grade - Wednesday, April 7th, 3rd through 5th grade - Thursday, April 8th.

Revised menus for our elementary campus are now available on our website.

Monday, March 22nd, the elementary campus will be closed and students will learn remotely from home. This is for one day only. Detailed information will be sent home with each student by the end of the week.
Before any construction work at the elementary can begin, we must remove all the contents from the building. Before any removal can occur, the teachers and administrators need to inventory the damages. For this to be done correctly, the teachers will have to go through everything in their classrooms – books, curriculum, hand-made materials, personal items they use in the rooms, furniture, etc. We cannot expect the teachers to do this at night after teaching all day. So, in order for them to have the necessary time to conduct this inventory accurately, we are making Monday (3/22/21) a remote learning day for elementary student. We appreciate your continued support as we work through this process.
Thank you.

Many of you, as well as many schools across the State, have experienced damage from the recent storms. The elementary campus experienced extensive damage. We have contractors and restoration companies onsite, working to make the campus safe for students and staff. It will take approximately two weeks before instruction can resume in the elementary school.
We have a plan for our elementary students to receive face-to-face instruction while the contractors work to make repairs. Corsicana ISD has generously made one of their unused buildings available for us to use during this time. Through a focused collaboration between our administrators and CISD staff, our students will be able to resume their education with little loss of time. It will require some flexibility, but our teachers and administrators are outstanding and will do all that is needed to make sure your children are in a safe and loving learning environment.

The Gifted and Talented nomination window is now open at Blooming Grove Elementary. If you are interested in nominating your child for GT screening, please email or call your child's teacher or request directly to Lori Kirby at lkirby@bgrove.org or call 903-695-2541.
