Summer School Letters: Letters for students who are being REQUIRED for summer school or are being RETAINED were mailed out several weeks ago, and should have already via the mail! If a student in grades K – 8 was recommended to practice at home over the summer on some skills, then letters were sent home with students. Some students will NOT receive letters at all, if your child scored above grade level on ITBS in ALL areas and teachers had no concerns then your child will NOT be getting a letter. Your child’s letter is determined by their grades, ITBS, attendance, testing scores and teacher feedback. If you have any questions, once you receive your letter, please call the school and speak with the office. If your child has required summer school please be sure summer school forms are turned into the office by May 23.
