Welcome to Anchor Bay Middle School North! My name is Jeanette Grove and I am honored to be your child’s teacher this year. We have made so many positive changes recently and are we are very excited to share them with you!
Professionally, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education from Central Michigan University with an emphasis in Health and English. After graduating, I was given a great opportunity to teach seventh grade English Language Arts in Phoenix, Arizona and I happily accepted. Two years later, I returned to Michigan, where I taught sixth, seventh, and eighth grade English Language Arts in the Eastpointe area.
Personally, I am a mother and know the challenges that parents face in today’s world. I have felt my own child’s excitement and successes when she brought home those A’s, awards and accolades. Also, I have also felt frustration at times. I do know what it is like to find out at the last minute that a major project is due the next day…that heart-stopping, sinking feeling that’s hard to escape! I know what it feels like when your child has missing assignments and just can’t seem to get organized no matter how hard you try to help. I know how it feels to suspect your child didn’t turn in an assignment and to be forced to think about it the entire weekend, losing hours of sleep. I have been there…I know.
In my class, I will make every effort to work with you and your child. On an individualized basis, I will prepare your child for success by identifying what your son/daughter needs to master to flourish as a lifelong learner. You will have access to my email at all times. I check my messages daily and I will get back to you swiftly. In addition to Power School, please check the classroom website regularly for the class calendar, daily assignment lists and important dates. I want all of my students to be successful and I want our families to have a sense of security. We can work together to make this year a positive experience for our class!
Please feel free to contact me at any time. My email is [email protected]. I am looking forward to working as a team with you this year!
