About 

Grove Avenue Elementary is one of eight elementary schools in the Barrington 220 School District, serving grades K-5. The school mascot is the Grizzly Bear. Grove opened in 1954, as the “baby boom” took effect and more schools were needed in the Barrington area to accommodate the growing number of students. The school originally served grades K-6. Since 1992, Grove staff members have made three visits to Washington, DC to accept the national Blue Ribbon Award.

If students arrive late or need to be picked up early, parents/authorized adults must enter the school at Door 1, on the west side of the building, and sign students out in the main office.  Teachers should be emailed in advance if a student will be leaving class early.
