Book Exchange
Bring in your children’s old, slightly damaged books and exchange them for another students books.
Books may be kept for whatever time period desired by the student or parent.
Lost books don’t incur any fees.
When does the exchange begin? As soon as we receive your children’s previously read, slightly damaged books.
ROBUST READERS
Starting Monday, November 2, we request all students read for thirty minutes a night, including weekends.
Students can read a book, magazine, pamphlet, or the Sight Word Lists or Story, if appropriate for the student’s reading level.
Students who read 30 minutes a night and have a parent initial verifying that each day the student has read the appropriate time length will receive 5 points of extra credit on weekly assessments.
Have your child turn in his or her reading log on each Monday recording the nightly 30 minutes of reading from the previous Friday to that week’s Thursday to receive the extra credit points.

Questions
WHAT OUR SCHOOL NEEDS FROM PARENTS
Enforce students reading 30-minutes a night
If your child is reading under the 4th grade level, have them practice both the Sight Word lists and story
Talk with your child/children daily about the importance of improving in reading
Attend a data conference
Sign your child up and provide transportation for Saturday Academy (tutoring)
Donate previously read, slightly damaged books for the book exchange program
WHAT OUR SCHOOL NEEDS FROM PARENTS
(continued)
Ensure your tested grade child learns all sight words by the end of March
Have your child attend school every day, on-time, and remain until the end of school
Hold your child accountable for good behavior so they don’t miss school due to suspension
