So far this year, our elementary students have been getting back into the routine of school. They have been learning routines and procedures both in the classroom and elsewhere in the school. One routine that you can support at home is daily reading. A reader can only get better at reading by reading. They must practice daily. Students may read by reading aloud, reading silently, and being read to.
Reading can be a bonding time with your child as well. Please support your student’s literacy but spending 10-20 minutes a day dedicated to reading (even on the weekends!)
Last week in the elementary edition of the announcements, Kyson Shanklin was interviewed by Mandi Fry about his love of football. Thanks, Kyson, for telling us about your passion!
Report cards are going out this week, so be on the lookout for those. Please discuss the results with your students and touch base with your student’s teachers if you have any questions or concerns. Open House is coming up on the 29th of September. Mark your calendars!
