We are excited to announce the 3rd annual “Fight the Summer Slide” challenge that will run for nine weeks from Monday, July 1st through Monday, September 2nd. Students will bring their district-issued iPads home this summer, and have the opportunity to read various digital books, practice their math skills and engage in programming and coding games and challenges. Although it is important that students spend the summer enjoying time with family and friends, playing outdoors, participating in camps and other activities, we also hope they will spend time participating in these important academic activities to avoid the summer slide!
All current 4th, 5th 6th, and 7th grade students will have the opportunity to use the reading program LightSail, the math program Mathspace and the coding platform kidOYO to enhance their reading, math and coding skills during the summer. These programs were utilized by students during the school year, and students will now have the opportunity to use them at home during the summer months. All of these programs are easily accessible through Classlink which students have been using throughout the school year. Additionally, we have secured the help of a staff member to monitor students’ use of these programs over the summer in an effort to support the quality of their work.
