SUMMER2015

NAME: ___________________________________ SCHOOL: ______________________________


Conceptualized and Produced by 2015 IDEA Public Schools ALP Team: Vanessa Barry, Cecilia Gallagher, Renee Livesay, Alisa Ozuna and Emily Tucker. Advised by IDEA Public Schools Vice President, Elizabet Garza.

Greetings IDEA parents! We are excited to announce SummerBOOST! We hope you’ll be excited to partner with us as we work together to improve your child’s performance over the summer. We know that you work hard with your child’s teachers and campus leaders all year to improve your child’s performance, and we celebrate together when your child is performing on grade level or is accelerating. However, some of this hard work can be undone over the summer. Studies have shown that students who do not read or practice math skills during the summer can lose up to two months of academic skills. For our students that means when they come back in the fall their teachers can spend up to one month of valuable time reviewing concepts that were already taught the year before.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO CHANGE THIS!

To prepare for this successful change, we ask that you talk to your child and plan together to do the following over the summer:

• Read for 30 minutes per day: Monday – Friday

• Practice Math Skills for 30 minutes per day; Monday - Friday

• We want our students and families to be successful in meeting their summer goals, so we will be providing the following support:

1. This fun-filled playbook to keep your child engaged and learning all summer long.

2. A list of public libraries in your area. We’ve also included the addresses so you and your child(ren) can visit them, participate in ongoing activities, check-out books, and read together!

3. We know there are a lot of amazing books out there, so we’ve provided a suggested reading list for your child’s grade level to help you choose books that will challenge your child while they work to meet their goals.

Sincerely,

IDEA BOOST T eam

SummerBOOST

Saludos padres de IDEA! Estamos muy emocionados de anunciar SummerBOOST! Esperamos que usted tambien este muy emocionado de asociarse con nosotros a medida de que trabajamos juntos para mejorar el rendimiento de su hijo durante el verano. Sabemos que usted trabaja duro con los maestros de su hijo y los líderes del campus durante todo el año para mejorar el rendimiento de su hijo, y celebramos juntos cuando su hijo está realizando a nivel de grado o se está acelerando. Sin embargo, parte de este trabajo se puede deshacer durante el verano. Los estudios han demostrado que los estudiantes que no leen o practican habilidades de matemáticas durante el verano pueden perder hasta dos meses de avanzes academicos. Para nuestros estudiantes esto se significa que cuando regresen a la escuela en el otono sus profesores tendran que sacrificar un mes de valiosos conceptos y tiempo repasando lo que ya se les enseno el ano anterior.

LA BUENA NOTICIA ES QUE PODEMOS TRABAJAR JUNTOS PARA CAMBIAR ESTO!

Para prepararse para este cambio con éxito, le pedimos que hable con su hijo y planificar juntos para hacer lo siguiente durante el verano:

• Leer 30 minutos al día: Lunes - Viernes

• Practicar habilidades de matemáticas durante 30 minutos al día; de Lunes a Viernes

• Queremos que nuestros estudiantes y sus familias tengan éxito en el cumplimiento de sus metas de verano, por lo que estaremos proporcionando el siguiente apoyo:

1. Este libro de practicas academicas esta lleno de diversión para mantener a su hijo ocupado y el aprendizaje durante todo el verano.

2. Una lista de las bibliotecas públicas en su área esta incluida. También hemos incluido las direcciones para que usted y su hijo(s) puedan visitarlos, participar en las actividades de verano, alquilar libros y leer juntos!

3. Sabemos que hay una gran cantidad de libros increíbles por ahí, tambien le ofrecemos una lista de lecturas recomendadas para el nivel de grado de su hijo para ayudarle a elegir los libros que pondrá a prueba su hijo mientras trabajan para cumplir con sus objetivos.

Atentamente,
