Patrick Henry Downtown Academy Elementary School

Hi Team Versen,

 

We made it! The last two weeks of our school year are fast approaching. I cannot express how important it is to have your children stay academically engaged over the summer break. Not only will I be sending learning games and materials home, but also books at their reading levels and some for you to read to them.

 

We know that kids who do not read regularly over the summer experience a summer slide which results in up to two reading levels lost. Just a half hour a day of reading with your child can help avoid this loss. Team Versen has worked tirelessly this school year to attain the gains that we have in reading. The kids have also nurtured a love of reading, so summer reading should be a cinch.

 

Our kids cannot participate in activities and festivities in the final weeks of school if they are not present. Please have them here by 7:45AM for breakfast and by 8:10Am to begin classes. 

 

School will resume in the fall on Monday, August 21, 2023, same time and same place.

 

 

We Learn Together,
 
Mrs. Versen
