COLLABORATION TOGETHER | GROFF IS BACK

Groff Elementary is ready to welcome its students, families and community home.

Before students return on September 2, we’re inviting the entire Moses Lake community to join us as we celebrate this milestone together.

Groff Elementary Ribbon Cutting & Facility Tour
Monday, August 31
7:00 p.m.
Groff Elementary (1501 S. Moses Lake Avenue)

Join district leaders, staff, school board, families and community members for a ribbon cutting followed by an opportunity to walk through the school and see the completed necessary repairs.

This reopening represents more than the completion of a major facility project. It marks the return of a school community that has spent more than a year learning, working and staying connected across multiple locations.

We’re excited to open the doors, welcome our community inside and celebrate Groff’s return together.

Students return to Groff on Wednesday, September 2. We will see you at the ribbon cutting on August 31st!

COLLABORATING TOGETHER | PROFESSIONAL LEARNING MATTERS

Before students return, district principals, department leaders, district administration and other staff came together to learn, plan, and practice together.

Staff heard presentations from teaching and learning, safety and well-being, special services, employee services, and communications. Superintendent Lewis kicked off the day with a discussion on goals, expectations and systems that will all contribute to a strong foundation as we moved forward.

We are excited to welcome students back in a couple weeks!
