Our Mission

​Every child will learn to read, write, and make-meaning across all content levels at grade level or above.

Explore the World Through Books

​This 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

 “Read, Read, Read & LOVE IT”

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 Reader

Our littlest readers in PreK 3 participate in the Raising a Reader lending library program.
