This week our local United Way is sponsoring a Family Academy night as part of their/our School Readiness plan.
Fall 2025 – "Supporting School Readiness at Home"
There will be about 5 stations for families to learn and take home 'tools' for their at home 'toolboxes'.
Events like these not only foster school readiness skills in young children but also strengthen the school-family partnership that is so important for student success.

How do you support families in your community?

How can we reassure parents that struggling with reading is not a reflection of their child's potential, but rather a natural part of the learning process?

This year our school is using the theme - board games for reading month. We all design and create board games on our classroom doors. We make them interactive so that students and families can enjoy them!
My door is based on the game Mad Gab - and I used the sentences from UFLI to create this fun activity!
