Student Learning Packets
This is the last week of school, which means June packets should be returned to the school on June 14th, 15th, or 16th to be graded!
Make sure your son has their July Packet with the 15 reading lessons and 15 math lessons at their instructional level. Those July packets can start on June 17th.
It is up to you and your family how you would like to see the work divided up throughout the summer. A teacher will be making phone calls to each family this summer to check in on the July Packet’s progress.
July packets are due August 2nd when school returns.
Reminder, that if you have a personal computer at home, iReady logins will still be active for your son all summer long! This can allow for significant opportunities to grow your son’s instructional level before returning to school in August. It is recommended that your child PASS one iReady Math or Reading lesson every day over the summer.
