Literacy Takes Center Stage: Our District's Commitment to Reading Excellence
As you may be aware, our district is places literacy at the forefront of our educational mission. Reading proficiency is the cornerstone of academic success and lifelong learning, and we're implementing comprehensive strategies to ensure every student thrives.
What This Means for Our Students: Our teachers are utilizing evidence-based reading instruction, expanded classroom libraries, and personalized literacy interventions. We're also introducing exciting programs, such as peer reading partnerships, book clubs, and more.
How Families Can Get Involved:
• Attend our upcoming Family Literacy Night (October 23rd)
• Volunteer for classroom read alouds
• Access our recommended reading lists by grade level
Resources Available: Visit our literacy resource page for reading tips, book suggestions, and information about tutoring support. You can also visit the public library, which offers evening and weekend hours to serve our community better.
When we work together—educators, families, and community members—we create an environment where reading flourishes. Let's make this a year where every student discovers the joy and power of literacy.
