A small school with a BIG 💙

We celebrated Read Across America Week!!!

Rocket Reading Challenge 🚀

Every student received a new book packets through Scholastic dollars. This initiative is to promote reading "at home". We would love parents support in ensuring students are reading at home. The reading challenge will start February 22nd and end on April 11th

Each week students will bring in their reading logs - If students run out of the ones included in the book packs Miss Quill will send home more, just let me know.
Class reading logs will need to be submitted each week we keep track of the school's progress - Rocket into Reading Log
When students complete the Reading Bingo Sheet they can pick out a prize.
If you have a student who reads the most in class, they can pick out a prize and their name will be announced on the morning announcements.

Chronic Absence

The most recent federal data show that in the 2020-21 school year, at least 14.7 million students nationwide were chronically absent. This means that chronic absence has almost doubled from the more than 8 million students, pre-Covid-19, who were missing so many days of school that they were academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences and suspensions—can translate into students having difficulty learning to read by the third-grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school.
