Orchard Families,
We are excited to announce that we could reschedule the school carnival for October 20. We will send more information when it gets closer.
Did you know reading 20 minutes each night with your child has tremendous success for how they will do in school? Click here for free short reading passages you and your child can read together: http://tinyurl.com/4bxr5bd4.
When children miss 10% of school, gaining reading and math skills, building relationships, and developing good attendance habits is harder. Attached is a flyer on ways to help ensure students attend school regularly.
Our school will be joining in “Reflections” this year. Students will be coming home with papers explaining what it is. There will also be a permission slip to return with your student’s entry for consideration.
Our family center is open. Our family connector is Ms. Loera, and you can contact her at jiloera@graniteschools.org
