Summertime, Summertime, Sum-Sum Summertime! - PART 1
Summer Reading Expectations - Coming Soon!
I apologize for the delay, but our teachers are pulling together summer reading expectations and assignments for students going into Grades 2, 3, and 4. They will be a part of my final newsletter, be sent through the Portal, be posted on the district website, and sent home with students. Please continue to encourage your students to read everyday. We want to avoid the summer slide for your student, so they can start their 2019-2020 school year off right!
MAJOR CHANGES FOR 3RD AND 4TH GRADE NEXT YEAR!!!!!
When your student receives their classroom placement sheet, you will see two teachers identified.
This has been a plan in the works for the last three years. We are excited to make this move for next year and believe it will provide more exciting opportunities for staff and students!
