LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK

Next week is going to be a very busy week. Beginning Monday we will be implementing RtI at Elizabeth Ide school. Today letters were sent home with the name of your student's reading teacher. Those students who are in need of extra interventions and small group instruction received a separate letter as well. All students are receiving the same curriculum and the reading expectations for all students were described at our grade level Curriculum Nights. In each grade level, the weekly newsletters explain what will be worked on in reading and language arts and that is what you should focus on at home.

SUMMER READING PROGRAMS

Elizabeth Ide Students are Excellent Summer Readers

The three libraries that serve our district all conducted summer reading programs. Indian Prairie hosted "Get in the Game" , Woodridge hosted the "Reading Bug" and Downers Grove hosted the "Reading Game". I am very proud of all the students that participated and worked so hard during the summer - Congratulations to you all!
