For our small group work both in the classroom and in room 12, our Title team will be looking for all children to demonstrate S.T.A.R. behavior

S=Sit up

T=Tracking finger reading

A=Answer on signal

R=Respect others

At Back to School Night each year, our parents, students and staff each sign a compact pledging our dedication to our students academic success in school. Please look for the compacts in the classrooms to sign and pledge your support!

After Back to School night, the signed compacts can be found in the classrooms as a great reminder of our committment to the academic success of Parkside Students!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION!

FACT: Parents are key reading role models. High frequency reading parents are six times more likely to have high frequency reading kids

FACT: Students who read magazines and newspapers regularly for enjoyment also tend to be better readers than those who do not

FACT: Students who read widely and frequently are higher achievers than students who read rarely and narrowly.

FACT: Children learn an average of 4,000 to 12,000 new words each year as a result of book reading.

FACT: Research has found a relation between the amount of time that children read for fun on their own and reading achievement.

FACT: Studies have proven that increased family engagement in educational programs is linked with increases in child reading achievement and other academic successes (such as high school graduation rates.)
