WHEN TO KEEP YOUR STUDENT HOME:
It is important to be vigilant when sending your student to school.
Please follow these simple guidelines about whether or not to send your student to school.
Readers are Leaders:
We strongly encourage you to make it a goal for your children to read 20 minutes at home every night, and for you to read to your children. The National Education Association states that having kids read on their own at home is a crucial component of becoming good readers. Young readers need to become practiced at recognizing letters and sounds. The only way to keep improving is to practice! The U.S. Department of Education found that the more students read for fun on their own time, the higher their reading scores.
