Get Ready to Read!
Did you know that children can lose up to 3 months of academic progress over one summer vacation? Reading a minimum of 6 books can help maintain reading levels while school is out of session. West is having a Summer Reading Club to help our students stay reading this summer! What is Summer Reading Club? A place to receive reading support from a mentor and FREE books to keep your student reading all summer long! West’s reading club will be on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm-7:30pm starting on June 12 and ending on August 7. There will not be club on Tuesday July 3 due to the 4th of July Holiday. Everyone is invited, but students less than 9 years old must come with an adult. Thank you!
