Happy National Young Readers Week!

We are using this week to share how the Science of Reading helps children become confident, capable readers.

Parents and caregivers play an essential role in helping children learn to read. Each day this week, we'll be highlighting one of the Big 5 along with some simple activities you can use at home to support your child's literacy journey.

💛A few minutes a day can make a lifetime of difference.

📖Follow along, try the activities, and help us grow confident readers together!

We would like to recognize our school psychologist, Elizabeth McPherson for all her work helping children and youth thrive. School psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and others to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior to help children and youth succeed socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and academically.
Thank you for your dedication to mental health and student success. We sincerely appreciate your tireless advocacy and unwavering support of both our students and staff. Your commitment truly makes a difference!
