SOARing through the School Year
Parent & Family Newsletter: Spring Edition 2022
SOARing to Success Parent Summit
What a Success! We held our first parent summit on Saturday, February 26, 2022. Parents walked away with a bag full of strategies and tools to support their children at home. Parents embraced online databases, understanding the number 10 is the star of the show, reading is a “reel’ adventure, the art to sparking writing, and mathematical mindsets matter.

Our Goal in Title I!
Camp SOAR is back this July!
Camp SOAR is designed to support students currently in Grades K-5 at schools receiving Title I funding. Each school will select students who meet the criteria to be part of the summer program. The program supports students needing academic support in the areas of reading (phonics and comprehension) and math (number sense). In the morning, the students will participate in the academic side of the program and have an opportunity in the afternoon to select from a variety of clubs.
Students will receive breakfast & lunch. Transportation will be provided to all students living within the summer site areas. The program will be held from July 5-28, 2022. Classes will be in-person Monday through Thursday. It is a whole day program. Start and end times will be determined by location. Reach out to the Title I team at your child’s school for additional information if you have not received an invitation and are interested in having your child participate in the program.District Title I Parent Workshop: Math Hits Title I with a SPLAT!
Wow! We had a lot of fun at our SPLAT! workshop. Parents picked up some strategies using SPLAT and estimation. If you missed it, we made a video. It will provide a bit of a snippet of the workshop so you can use the strategies at home.

Parent & Family Engagement Workshops
Our workshops are designed to continue to build parent capacity in providing their children support in reading and math. We plan our workshops around strategies the students are taught during the school day. The workshops provide families with a better understanding of what the students are doing in school and provide parents with tools to support their children as they continue to learn at home.
