Summer is a great time for fun and rest, but reading every day is important to keep your child’s skills strong. Just 20 minutes a day can help prevent a loss in reading ability over the break.

Try to make reading part of your family’s summer routine. Whether it’s books, magazines, or stories, reading now will help your child do well next year.

I’ve sent home a flyer with ideas, digital options for eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, and a reading challenge. Please look it over and help your student set some summer reading goals in the next week or two.

Thank you for partnering in your child’s learning journey!

Medical orders for the fall may be faxed directly to the clinic at 730-4834. Medications to be stored in the clinic for the 2025-26 school year may be dropped off by an adult starting on August 25th from 8am-2:00pm.

Parent permission form is linked here, as a reminder this must be filled out each year.

Have a wonderful summer and we look forward to working with you again in the fall.

Sincerely,

Amanda Eason and Laurel Rothermel
