Gloverville Elementary School is helping all students develop the World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by cultivating future-ready students to serve our evolving community and world through an innovative, literacy-focused school system. It is our purpose to prepare our students with World Class Skills by focusing on critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. Our school is continuing to focus on a high level of rigor, relevance, and relationships. Classroom curriculum focuses on research, effective use of technology, and real life problem solving. In order to address the diverse academic needs of our students we offer: Read 180 & System 44 for students in grades 3-5, Reflex Math, Dreambox, IXL, Moby Max, student mentors, ESOL support, and GT instruction. The Jr. Beta club received the School of Distinction award for the 2021-2022 school year.
Backpack Blessings, completely funded and supported through local business partners and Harvest Food Bank donations for the past 4 years, is a program that provides children with nutritious, child-friendly food when other resources, such as school lunches and after-school meals or snacks, are not available. Backpacks are discreetly distributed to participating children at schools on Fridays and helps provide the proper nutrition necessary for overall growth, physical and cognitive development and satisfactory performance in school. We also continued our partnership with Midland Valley High School student mentors that work with our students’ everyday throughout the school year.
Gloverville’s open door policy promotes family and community involvement. Our active PTO provides numerous opportunities for all parents to participate in a variety of school activities. We are starting back our Watch DOG program, a national program that encourages dads to spend the day volunteering in classrooms, in hallways, in the cafeteria, and on the playground. Gloverville students and staff give back to our community by participating in service projects such as Day of Caring, donating food and clothing, collecting animal food for the local animal shelters and go read to the animals, raising money for the Cancer Society, Empty Valley Stocking Fund, Jump Rope for Heart, as well as fundraising for various organizations.
It is our belief that we are to give ALL students the academic and life skills needed to have a successful future and to be a positive contribution to society.
