Learning loss during summer is real. Sadly, it impacts struggling readers the most and at Bridge, that's nearly 40% of our students. We are super fortunate that Imagine Learning has agreed to help Bridge keep our kids engaged in learning during the summer to help reduce summer slide. By using Imagine for 20 minutes, three times weekly for reading and math (that's just a total of two hours weekly) your kids can help reduce learning loss. It won't be enough to eliminate the "summer slide" but it will certainly put your child in a better place when school begins in August and they will spend less time climbing up the hill to get to where they were when they left at the end of this school year.

Please set up a schedule with your child so Imagine Learning becomes part of their daily routine during the summer. Perhaps it is part of their chore chart or is something they do before they get to play video games or go outside to play with friends. Alos, reading an additional 20 minutes each day will also help ensure your child is ready for the upcoming school year.

Imagine Learning will remain available even to the students who will not be returning to Bridge next school year, including the 6th graders moving on to junior high. Unfortunately, we will not be able to add our new students to the program until school begins in August.

The end of year (EOY) data is now published and is accessible on our webpage. You can find it under School Assessments at: https://www.bridgecharter.org/curriculum

Some highlights from the data include:

Imagine Literacy: 38% of students at benchmark at beginning of year / 66% at benchmark at the end of year

Imagine Math: Average Quantile growth of 212Q - an expected growth for one year = 100Q

Acadience Reading: 50% at benchmark at beginning of year / 61% at benchmark at end of year

Acadience Math: 50% at benchmark at beginning of year / 62% at benchmark at end of year

Please stop by and look over the "items left behind" table to find the bag that may belong to your child. There is a great assortment of water bottles, a box of bubble wands left over from 1st grade, student yearbooks, and a plethora of other items.

The calendar for next school year is now approved. You can access it on our website using the link below:

I like to spend my off time hanging out in the mountains, especially on hiking trails. I hike all year long and really love winter hiking. I also like to bike ride, ski (downhill and cross country) and paddle board. I have three grand kids that I enjoy hanging out with and often drag them with me out on the trails. I also love to read. I am a big fan of historical fiction and mysteries. I LOVE learning and if I wasn't an educator I would probably be a full time student. I hope to see you this summer - maybe at the pool, Lagoon, or even on the trail!

Title I was initially passed in 1965 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It is the largest federal assistance program for public schools. These supplemental funds provide students the opportunity to receive a fair, equitable and high-quality education to help close achievement gaps.

Bridge Elementary receives our Title I funding based on the percentage of students that qualify for free or reduced lunch. For this reason we encourage ALL families to apply for Free/Reduced lunch through Aspire to ensure every single student receives the services needed, including access to free or reduced meals if appropriate.

Title I provides avenues for parent input and participation. We do this through our surveys and the link to the form on our website which allows parents to submit questions and suggestions.

You can find more information about Title I as well as a form to ask questions or provide suggestions regarding Title I, on our website at:
