Monday, September 19 – A DAY
On Friday, September 23rd we will begin implementing 15 minutes of Sustained Silent Reading at the start of each Directed Study.

Research indicates that children who read independently are more likely to perform better in all academic areas. Teachers will make exceptions for students on a case by case basis as issues arise.
