Summer Goal-Setting OPTION for Elementary Students
District 96 students do a lot of learning during the school year! The National Summer Learning Association reports that students can lose up to 3 months of academic learning in a summer, however. Why not keep the learning going by helping your student set and work to meet goals for math and literacy learning in ways that are fun and interesting?
Parents interested in this optional opportunity for their child will find lots of engaging activities on THIS WEBSITE and can use THIS FORM to help their student set goals and track progress.

iPad Policy Change for 2018-19
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 on the flyer below and in greater detail in the 2018-19 Student Handbook.

Summer Reading for Student Growth
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 parent letter (including required grade-level activity), book suggestions, and reader interest inventory, listed by 2018-2019 grade level.
Questions? Please contact the school office.
