The summer slide is a decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn’t in session. Research shows reading 20 minutes a day is the best way to prevent this learning loss. Paris schools provide FREE ebooks & audiobooks for all students year-round through our Sora app which is free to download. Students will use their school email to log in and start READING!
Due to the forecast of rain in the next couple of days, 8th grade SWAT will be moved to Monday. Friday will be a review day and Tuesday and Wednesday they will follow the original test schedule.
TUESDAY FUNDAY! We are excited to host our soon to be 5th graders today from PES for orientation!

7th Grade students in Mrs Wewer's class participated in a Nonfiction Reading Escape Room in preparation for ATLAS Testing next week. They worked through four stations centering around nonfiction reading: reading comprehension, supporting evidence, word choice, and summary writing. This was a more enjoying way for students to show what they know for the test!
