Please invite your students and plan to attend the opening ceremony which will begin at 9:30 a.m. Click Here to access the Reading Festival website.

Student Registration and Recognition

Students will register on the Reading Festival website. Students who participate in the festival will be awarded a certificate and a book. We will send these to the site for you to hand out during Grab ‘n’ Go lunch.

Raffles

We will have raffles throughout the day. Students will be asked to fill out a google form in which they will enter at least 3 golden bookmark passwords. Students who submit their forms will be entered in the raffles. ONLY third grade students are eligible for the raffles.

There are four raffles scheduled throughout the day. We have 4 bikes, graciously donated by Horace Mann Insurance, to give away again this year as well as other great prizes from our community partners.

The purpose of this assessment is to see if your student is proficient in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. If they are proficient in these areas, they can be Reclassified out of the EL Program.

Your student's teacher will be given the schedule and they will let you know when your student will test. Your student will also be provided the zoom link for the assessment. Prior to their assessment, please make sure they have had a good night's sleep and have eaten a healthy lunch so can be ready to do their best.

Gray is $10 and Black is $8.Various sizes available! Get yours before they're all gone!

Please contact the school office for more information.
