It will prompt you to sign up for a SchoolCafe account first (or sign in if you already have an account from last year), then you may click on the benefits link within.

As teachers, we spend a good amount of our instructional time teaching literacy strategies for reading. We usually end the school year with a sense of satisfaction, knowing that our students have progressed in all areas of reading.

Students can experience what we call the Summer Slide during their time away from school in the summer, which means that on average they lose about 2 months of reading skills during a typical summer break. You can help prevent this slide for your children by engaging in learning activities with them at home and READING!! :)

Finding ways to support our families and students with reading strategies during this time is crucial. The reading loss children experience every summer begins to accumulate, so that by the time they enter middle school he/she may be about 2 1/2 years behind. This reading loss becomes a learning gap that continues to broaden over time if not addressed, creating lifelong consequences for students. Our hope is that families will use these strategies to help their children read and practice the reading skills that are so important to their future success. Don't forget to read every day!

Plan on volunteering? Helping on a field trip? Please complete your volunteer application/background check! A new one is needed each school year and must be completed before you can volunteer with students. 24-25 volunteer applications open on July 1st. Information is provided on the link below.
