You must print and sign the pledge form below and submit this to your teacher upon request the first week of school.
K-2nd Grades
In our K-2nd grades, we do not have any required summer reading. However, we do recommend that your family participate in our Honor’s Reading Program. This program is optional for all of our elementary students, but strongly encouraged.
The Honors Reading program requires students to read a certain number of books in addition to the reading already required in the regular classroom curriculum. Therefore, students who complete these books have truly gone above and beyond what the school requires. Those who aspire to and complete these books will be recognized each year at our closing Elementary Awards Day in May.
3rd-5th Grades
There is one specific book required for summer reading for 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. The classes will do follow-up activities with this selection upon their return in the fall. It might be helpful to schedule this book to be read in the latter part of the summer so that there is good retention. There is also a second required book of their choice. You may select one of the recommendations or any age-appropriate book from the Honors Reading List located on the Elementary Parent Portal.
It is important to keep the mind academically engaged during the summer. Reading is a great way to accomplish this. Turn off the TV, the tablets, and the cell phone to spend some time reading aloud together. Keep some books in the car for unexpected waits in traffic or a doctor’s office. Parents set the greatest example in demonstrating the importance of reading in everyone’s life.
New/Transfer Students:
If students are accepted on or before July 15, all summer reading is still mandated for the start of school.
Students accepted after this date are only required to read the required book for the grade.
