Summer Reading for Student Growth (New)
Having students continue to read during the summer when school is not in session is extremely important to their academic growth and to prevent them from losing academic progress.
Because our goal is to have our students continue to read for pleasure, we offer grade-level-specific book suggestion lists of various genres to appeal to a variety of interests.
Also, grade levels have assigned specific activities as well as a student interest inventory to complete and return at the beginning of the school year.
Please CLICK HERE to find your student's parents letter (including required grade-level activity), book suggestions, and reader interest inventory, listed by 2018-2019 grade level.
Questions? Please contact the school office.
iPad Policy Change (New)
The end of the year is a busy time for everyone, but it's always good to get a head start and thinking next year. The policy concerning iPad damage will be different next year. This change is reflected in the flyer HERE and in greater detail in the 2018-19 Student Handbook. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Will you be sending a student to middle school next year? (Repeat)
