There is an inspirational quote from Rita Pierson that describes Tami Laws well. It reads, “Every child deserves a champion. An adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be.” Mrs. Laws lives this out each and every day with her students, and the support she gives reaches beyond to our entire campus. We know that all students come to us needing to be loved before they can learn. She is someone we can rely on for advice, ideas and inspiration when we are struggling to find answers to help those who need the extra love, the extra time and the extra energy. The work she does is invaluable, and we could not do this without her.

On Friday, January 15th, Shady Grove teachers presented students with Spirit, Pride, and Honor Awards for Fall 2020. These awards were given to students that demonstrated special qualities consistently throughout the first semester. Each award has a special meaning. Students receiving the Spirit award show kindness to others and express positivity in everything they do. Students awarded the Pride award are hard working, goal oriented, and take ownership of their work. Our Honor recipients are STAR students, high achievers, and strive for excellence.

We are very proud of these students! Photos of students will run in the Burnet Bulletin on Wednesday, January 27, 2021.

Here in BCISD we honor the service of Martin Luther King Jr. by completing service projects. Our teachers and students work together to find ways to help in our schools and community. At Shady Grove we had a variety of projects including raising money for local animal shelters, collecting food items for local food banks and showing our gratitude to our Custodians and Cafeteria staff. Shady Grove students have BIG hearts!

In order to provide teachers and staff additional planning opportunities during this unprecedented school year, the District made revisions to the school year calendar. One of those revisions included making Monday, January 18 a holiday for students and a planning day for staff.

Small group time is a valuable part of our daily schedule here at Shady Grove. We have small group time in various subjects in the classroom, in Star Lab, in our GT & Enrichment programs.

Our campus Instructional Coach, Teresa Mather has put together a short video to help you with the basics of getting started with remote learning.
