Happy Summer!!!
I hope everyone is enjoying summer vacation and this newsletter finds you well! It is about a month until we will be back at school. The custodial staff has been hard at work cleaning classrooms and we have begun construction on the music room and art room. I will be sending a more detailed email at the beginning of August, but in the meantime here is some information you may find helpful!

Summer Learning Opportunities
This year we are offering the Freckle Challenge for current Kindy-4th grade students as a way of continuing student learning over the summer. Students have used Freckle to practice a variety of math and language arts skills at school. Please see the links below for more information about the Freckle Challenge. Attached you will also find a calendar to monitor student progress on The Freckle Challenge. I hope all students will participate to some degree to help prevent summer regression. It is also important for all students to read, read, read during the summer!
