Summer Work

Dear parents,

As we get closer to summer, please think about what summer work your child will do to maintain progress made this year. There are summer courses offered at school such as Framing Your Thoughts, Orton-Gillingham, and a summer review course for SBS students. Other possibilities you could consider are summer tutoring to keep math, reading, and writing skills sharp.

The transition from fifth to sixth grade will mean more independent work, reading, homework, etc. and avoiding summer regression will be very important in your child's step up to Upper Division.

Please begin to consider available summer supports now. Mrs. Gaudet has a list of summer tutors. You can contact her if you feel one on one work would be best for your child. I will make note of suggested summer work in your child's final report. If you'd like to know more now, please get in touch via agenda, email, or a call and I'll make suggestions.

I am getting really excited for our SBS culminating celebration. Please make sure that you have June 3rd at 8:30 marked off on your calendar.

Laura
