Our MissionEvery child will learn to read, write, and make-meaning across all content levels at grade level or above.
Explore the World Through BooksThis year students will embark on multitudes of adventures as they travel through the pages of books and a series of schoolwide initiatives focused around the theme of reading as exploration. Students will experience genre and author spotlight studies, maintain a reading passport, and travel across the Atlantic Ocean to Scotland while reading this year’s “One School, One Book” selection

Reading is a family affair with “One School, One Book!” This year’s OSOB will kick off in February. This year we will be reading The Water Horse by Dick King-Smith. Thank you, Title 1 for funding this special event aimed to build family engagement through reading!
In 1930, on the coast of Scotland, eight-year-old Kirstie finds a large egg which hatches into an unusual sea creature, and as he grows her family must decide what to do with him.

The wonderful “100 Book Challenge” from the American Reading Company is a leveled-literacy program all about nurturing a love of books from the very beginning. Every morning, readers in grades K-3, shop for books to read during their Reader’s Workshop block. During Reader’s Workshop students read independently or with a teacher. Students will bring book bags home each evening, including weekends, to be returned the following school day. Inside the book bags will be a collection of at least 5 books, and a Reading Log. Students earn and record a “step” for every 15 minutes of eyes on print. Families are invited to help students achieve steps by reading at least two steps (30 minutes) each school night.
Raising a ReaderOur littlest readers in PreK 3 participate in the Raising a Reader lending library program. For more information about the Raising a Reader program, please scroll through the informational slides below.
