From the Principal’s desk…
Here we are! Another school year in the books.
We will miss the students over the summer, but it
is a great time for teachers to rest, recharge and do
some strategic planning for next year. We have
some ambitious changes at East Hill next year,
and we are already excited for 2015-16.
Summer Reading
In the summer, many students can lose some of
the reading progress that they made during the
school year. This is called “summer reading loss”.
There is a simple way to make sure that this does
not happen to your child:
HAVE THEM READ OVER THE SUMMER!
Studies have shown that students who read as few
as 6 books over the summer can maintain their
current reading level from the end of the school
year. Of course, students who read MORE can
increase their reading level over the summer.
Students who do not read over the summer can
LOSE up to 3 months of reading progress,
progress that needs to be make up during the next
school year. Over time, this gap can get so large
that it is pretty hard to catch up. SO…….
EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ IN SUMMER!
We provided free books to our students who are
struggling in reading and we are going to look for
ways to connect with families aver the summer to
make sure kids keep reading. So let’s all:
READ THIS
SUMMER!!
Changes at East Hill Next Year
Staff Farewells
There are some folks who will be leaving Est Hill
over the summer. We congratulate them on their
new adventures, but will miss their skill and dedication
to our students and families. We will miss them!
Mrs. Kim is moving to the
Snoqualmie Valley School District
Ms. Clifton is moving to Tacoma
Mrs. Whitney is retiring
Mrs. Onorati is retiring
Mrs. Arlin is retiring
We wish these talented and wonderful folks the
very, very best as they move on. We know that
they will continue to serve children, because that
is what educators do best!
Breakfast After the Bell
New this fall, all students at East Hill will receive
both breakfast and lunch FREE, at school, every
day. As students begin their day be picking up their
breakfast and eating it in their classroom. We are
combining breakfast with a daily morning meeting
to start our day in a calm, relaxed atmosphere, setting
the stage for a productive day of learning. The teachers
will be sharing instruction on social skills, problem
solving and other important life skills during the
morning meetings.
Have a lovely summer, everyone!
