Today is International Literacy Day! Letโs celebrate the power of reading and writing together. Families can support literacy at home in simple but meaningful ways:
Read with your child for 15โ20 minutes each day
Encourage journaling or writing letters to friends/family
Talk about books, articles, or stories together
Share stories from your own culture or explore stories from around the world
Together, we can grow strong readers and lifelong learners! ๐

SCPS PTA first meeting will be Thursday, August 28, 2025 at 6pm in the LPJ Media Center.

๐ข Attention Families!
Next week, some of our students in grades 4โ8 will begin taking the VALLSS assessment. If your child is required to participate, you should have received an informational letter last week.
โ๏ธ This assessment helps us better understand how students are progressing in reading and spelling.
โ๏ธ Results give teachers valuable information to support each childโs literacy's growth.
โ๏ธ Not all students will participate, but those who do will take it during the school day.
Thank you for encouraging your child to do their best and get a good nightโs sleep before testing days! ๐๐

Letโs start the year strong by making reading part of your everyday routine. Reading isnโt just homework, itโs an adventure waiting for YOU! ๐โจ
Here are a few ways to make daily reading fun at home:
๐ Pick a book youโre excited about (sports, mystery, fantasyโyour choice!)
๐ Set aside just 20 minutes a day ๐
๐ Find a cozy reading spot (bonus points if itโs a blanket fort ๐ฐ)
๐ Talk about what you read with a friend or family member ๐ฌ
This year, letโs open more books, grow our brains, and let our imaginations fly! ๐
