Happy Summer!

We have had a great year of learning and fun! Please continue to practice the skills that were taught this school year. Students will still have access to the LCPS Go applications all summer long. A few that help with reading and math include Kids A-Z, Lalilo, Dreambox, ABC Ya!, and Starfall. Students also have their Go Math workbooks that are great resources too! For more information, please ask your child’s teacher if they are sending home more materials or providing a list of activities that can be done with materials that are already at home.

Remember to read! We hope you have a safe and relaxing summer.
