Summer Learning

Dear Families, 

We made it through the challenges of the 4th quarter and are excited to move into the fun of the summer months!  
Along with this time to relax, we look to continue to enrich our students’  learning to prevent summer slide.  
Please find the summer assignments for your child to complete in Reading and Math through June and July.  
The office will be open during the summer Monday - Thursday, 9:00 AM-1:00 PM and closed the week of July 4th.  
We will be working on creating a safe, secure way for schooling to continue in the Fall.  
Once we have answers, we will be sure to communicate with you a plan for the 2020-2021 school year.  
If you have any questions, please let us know.
We are so excited to see everyone again in the Fall!
​
Mrs. Reynolds
