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, Voyager in grade K-2, ESOL support, and GT instruction. The Jr. Beta club continued in 2022-2023, and they created several service projects throughout the year.
Backpack Blessings, completely funded and supported through local business partners and the Golden Harvest Food Bank donations for the past 5 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. Midland Valley High School students came to read to our classrooms to celebrate Read Across America Week.
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 have resumed our Watch DOG program, a national program that encourages dads as well as other important male role models in the students' lives, to spend the day volunteering in classrooms, hallways, 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, collected socks for two shelters, toiletry drives for homeless Veterans, collecting animal food for the local animal shelters, reading to the animals, raising money for the Valley Empty Stocking Fund, Jump Rope for Heart, as well as fundraising for various organizations.
