Alyeska Reading Institute will provide free virtual tutoring during the summer. K-3 students who have a reading deficiency and scored well-below on a universal screener, such as m-CLASS DIBELS 8 will be eligible for a four-week summer school session. Each session will meet the required twenty hours of summer school for third grade students with a reading deficiency, progressing to fourth grade. If room allows a student may attend more than one session.

The application can be found at this link.

Summer Tutoring Application

It's been a busy year in the library. If your child still has a book out, please return the title by the end of the year. We hope to have a full collection for all students to select from at the start of the new school year. Wishing you and your family a safe and fun summer.

Please pick up all controlled medications from Nurse T by the end of the day on May 22nd. Controlled substances (ADHD medications) cannot be stored over the summer and will be destroyed the following morning.

If your student will be returning to Rogers Park next year and has an inhaler or epi-pen, those can be stored over summer. Please let Nurse T know if you would like to store your student's inhaler and/or epi-pen over the summer, or if you would like to have those sent home.

Thank you PTA Members for another wonderful school year. We're proud of all that we've accomplished this year at Rogers Park - from teacher reimbursement grants and field trip/bussing funding to family movie, game and skate nights, and so much more! Your time and donations help make this all happen!
