Principal's Message
Happy Holidays! This is the time of year when weather causes snow days, delays and early dismissals. I know and understand the frustration when this happens but please know that student safety is always a top priority when these decisions are made. On a positive note, this is a great opportunity for your child to catch up on reading!
Here is a great article on the benefits of reading aloud to your middle school student.
Parents can be a big influence with home reading by being a reading model.
When you show your children how much you value reading, they are likely to follow your lead. Are you a reading role model? Answer yes or no to the questions below to find out:
1. Do you read something for pleasure every day?
2. Do you share something that you’ve read with your child each day?
3. Do you keep a book handy for times you may have to wait?
4. Do you read food labels at the store and talk about the information with your child?
5. Do you keep books and magazines around your home-so it’s easy to find something to read?
How well are you doing? Each yes means you are a role model for helping your child love reading. For each no, try that idea at home.
Happy Reading!
~Ms. Presnell
