Dear Parents and Guardians,

It’s hard to believe this is the last newsletter of the year! We have had such an amazing and engaging school year.  I hope you agree, our students have done some amazing things this year.

The Arts-related opportunities our students have participated in have been incredible.  From Culinary Exploration to Integrated Arts & Technology Experiences, our Expanded Day programming continues to offer rigorous, fun enrichments that engage students in learning. We should all be proud of our students’ and teachers’ efforts this school year.

Next year we are exploring opportunities to extend the arts to EVERY student. This can happen by combining our Integrated Arts Enrichment with our General Art. Stay tuned for more information communicated in our summer mailing in August.

Summer Enrichment Programming

Thank you parents for understanding how importantkeeping your child engaged over the summer truly is to our continued instructional growth. We hope you got a chance to watch our Classroom Dojo Parent Series Video on the Summer Learning Slide.

As the posted videos demonstrated, research and data shows that even here at School No. 46, students can lose as much as three months of grade-level reading equivalency over the summer months. By enrolling your child in one of the many opportunities available and encouraging summer reading, you are helping us to prevent summer learning loss. Additionally, this year we are continuing a Virtual Summer Scholars Program that will engage selected students to participate in a virtual summer learning opportunity. We hope your child also participates in our summer reading challenge. For more information on both programs please contact Ms. Bishop, our school librarian.

Finally, thank you for a wonderful year and sharing your children with us! Watching them grow over the past year has been an amazing honor.  Have a safe summer!

Sincerely,

Ms. Pantoja 

Principal, Charles Carroll School #46
