Our students last day of school this year is Thursday, May 23rd.  Our students should have brought home with them two packets for their parents.  The first was an informational data sheet on the student.  We ask that you make any changes in student information and return this information back to school with your child before the end of this school year.  The second packet was a financial packet.  This packet contains the information necessary to pay student fees for next year.  As a reminder, returning these fee payments prior to July 20th will result in a $20/student discount to your fee payment.

I am sure that the summer will feel like it has gone by as fast as this school year.  Our Kansas Education Commissioner, Diane DeBacker, has provided information on a Read Kansas reading program with a link to resources and activities that encourage student's summer reading.  

"The Kansas State Department of Education is pleased to support the Read Kansas Read summer program along with Governor Brownback and the State Library.  Information about Read Kansas Read can be found at http://www.readkansasread.ks.gov/default.htm including bookmarks, a reading log, links to finding appropriate reading-level books, and details about prizes.  I encourage you to visit the website.  Summer break often interrupts the learning process.  Summer achievement loss is particularly evident in reading ability.  We can assist the summer achievement loss by encouraging students to Read Kansas Read!"  (Commissioner DeBacker)
