Accelerated Readers Ahead

Dear Parents,

 

As you may well know, Accelerated Reader is coming to McGaugh!  We are excited about this, yet much needs to be done to get our Media Center books ready for student check out.  This Friday, December 11, from 8:30 to approximately 2PM, we will begin the process of applying reading level dots to the books in the media center that have an Accelerated Reader (AR) quiz.  It may eventually take more than one day, but our goal is to get this process started before our winter break, so students and staff can get trained when we return, and then get started using the program.  More information WILL be sent out to parents about the program, but this is one of the early steps in the process of getting ourselves ready.

 

If you have the time (an hour or two – or even three) and are willing to come help, please get in contact with Karen Ferretti, Media Center teacher, atKferretti@losal.org with a time period that works for you.  Having just the right amount of helpers will actually be better than having too many.

 

If you can't make it this time (I know this is a difficult time of year), we just might call on help once again.  If we get too many – we may ask that you wait for the second round.  Either way, we appreciate any and all help that comes our way.

 

Thanks for helping to make McGaugh the wonderful, special place that it is…..
