Summer Reading

22 days ago

Reading is the single most important thing you can do during the summer months to help retain and improve the reading skills that have been developing throughout the school year.  In fact, “studies show that most students experience a loss of reading skills over the summer months, but children who continue to read will gain skills” (www.readingrockets.org, 2022). 

To that end, please make a concentrated effort to read 20-30 minutes each day this summer.  Take advantage of programs offered at the Valley Community Library and check out the following resources for additional reading lists, resources and summer reading challenges:

SAP (Student Assistant Program) Referral Form

The Student Assistance Program team is a group of teachers and other professionals who administer a program designed to help students who are "at risk" for issues involving drugs and alcohol and/or mental health concerns.  It is a confidential, systematic process designed to intervene and refer students who are having problems.  Referred students and their parents are given free access to appropriate community services in and out of school.  Teachers, parents, and students can refer anyone to SAP.  Students can even refer themselves.  Essentially, referrals are made when a person is concerned that a student may be "at risk" because of drug and alcohol or mental health issues.
