Dear 5th Grade Families,

We wish you a relaxing and safe summer and remind you the importance of reading 20 minutes daily. Althoughit is summer, students should continue to learn and grow academically in order to retain what they have learnedover the course of this year. These activities are due on September 7, 2021 the first day of school, and willcount as the first grades in both ELA and Social Studies for Cycle 1. Other activities for the summer readinghave already been crafted making it especially important that you read the text in its entirety. It is alsoimportant to note that last September the district assessed the students based on the summer reading. Beingprepared in September will allow your student to be amazingly successful.

Be Well,
