School History
In the beginning, our school was a private school. Later, it became a
school serving grades 1-12. In September 1975, we became College Grove
Elementary School serving grades K-6. With the opening of Page Middle
School in 1981, our school then served students in grades K-5. In 1993, we
proudly opened the doors of our new building on Arno Road. In the Fall of
1997, we were one of four elementary schools to open a Pre-K program.
During the Winter of '99, our school became a 21st Century School.
Before/After School Care
We have an Aftercare program that provides parents with child care after
normal school hours. Our program opens at 6:30 a.m. for all students and
again at 11:15 daily for our Pre-K students. It remains open until 6:00
p.m. each evening. The program is also available to our families during
most school holidays and in the summer.
Parent Support Organization
Sarah Strasser is the president of our PTO. Meetings are usually held on
the first Thursday of each month (except December) throughout the school
year.
Special Programs
Williamson County Extension Agency offers 4-H to our fourth and fifth
grade students on a monthly basis.
Library/Media Center
One of the main programs that we focus on in our media center is the
Reading Renaissance Program. At this time, we have six computer terminals
in our media center. We have over 10,000 books, videos, cassettes, etc.
Each year we strive to purchase additional books for our Reading
Renaissance program.
Academics
We have several unique academic programs at our school. Those include
Reading Renaissance, Shurley Method, Saxon Math, Quantum Learning,
Developmental Practices, and Curriculum Alignment.
Guidance
Our guidance counselor is a .5 position. Other counseling is available if
needed through Williamson County Family Center in Franklin.
Special Education Services
Currently we have one full-time and one part-time learning specialist. We
also have seven full or part-time special education assistants.
Parent Conferences
Parent/teacher conferences are held twice yearly. The first conference is
held during the Fall and the second conference is held during the Spring.
If conferences are needed otherwise, please contact your student’s teacher
to schedule an appointment.
