FRESH

SUMS Up! Success Using Math Skills

The SUMS Up Math Program is a great way for students to keep their math skills sharp over the summer! This program is intended to help parents encourage their kids to stay fresh in math by giving them resources that align directly with the District 834 math curriculum.

Parents should order the grade level their child has just completed. This program is designed to help children maintain their grade level learning.

Each child registered will receive a colorful bag containing a workbook, a letter from the teacher and math manipulatives to use with their assignments. Each week, via email or U.S. Mail, we will send an assignment which will include focus workbook pages, as well as math games and suggested online sites that kids can go to for more practice. Lessons are completed by the child and corrected by the parent so there is nothing to turn in. This program is coordinated by district teachers who will be available over the summer via email to answer parent questions.

SUMS Up materials align with District 834’s math curriculum.

Students who attend Stillwater Area Public Schools will receive their bag with workbook and materials from their teacher during the last week of school. All other students can pick up their materials after June 6 at the Community Education office at 1875 South Greeley Street in Stillwater.

What is Early Childhood Screening?

Any child who will go to school in the state of Minnesota must have an Early Childhood Screening record. It involves a simple, easy method of finding out how a child between the ages of 3 and 4 is growing and developing. The screening process is meant to identify any possible health or learning concerns so that they may be addressed before a child enters school.

What are the goals of Early Childhood Screening?

• To find out how your child is growing and developing.

• To connect parent and child with early childhood programs and other community services.

• To answer any parenting questions/ concerns you may have.

At what age should my child be screened?

The ideal age to have your child screened is between 3 and 4. Early Childhood Screening is not a kindergarten readiness assessment. Children should be screened one to two years before they enter kindergarten.

What happens to the information gathered at Early Childhood Screening?

You will be given a full report of the findings when your child finishes the screening appointment. You will receive one copy of the report and one copy will be placed in your child’s cumulative file with the school district.

Why must I make sure my child attends a scheduled Early Childhood Screening appointment?

About 750 children are screened each year in Stillwater. Canceled or missed appointments make it difficult to systematically get all children screened at the appropriate age. It is also difficult to find a make-up time for children who miss an appointment.

How does my child get an Early Childhood Screening appointment?

The district census list of 3 to 4 year olds is used to obtain names and send notices about screening dates. If you are unsure as to whether your child is on the census, you may check with the enrollment office at 651.351.8412. If you receive a notice to attend a screening clinic, or you want to make an appointment before that time, schedule your appointment online at stillwaterschools.org/ec-screening or call 651.351.4022.

Appointments are held at the Early Childhood Family Center 1111 Holcombe Street South

Stillwater, MN 55082 Appointments typically last one hour.
