We provide supplemental support for students in Math (Delta Math) and Reading (Really Great Reading) to help close the achievement gap. Students are identified through a schoolwide ranking of assessments and are served and monitored for progress by our Title I/LAP team. Currently students in Kindergarten through fifth grades are being served.
Please check out our Learning Resources, Newsletters and Reading Tips pages for ways to help your child at home.
SUMMER SLIDE
To prevent the "summer slide," or learning loss over the summer break, encourage regular reading, engage in hands-on learning activities,
and explore educational trips and programs. Summer reading programs, both at home and at the local library, can help maintain reading skills. Additionally, incorporating math into daily activities and exploring educational resources like museums and parks can
further mitigate learning loss.
Here's a more detailed look at how to prevent the summer slide:

Visit the library
