3rd Grade Reading Law - Letter to Parents

As you know, reading is the foundation for success in school and it is essential for all subjects. In 2016, the Michigan Legislature passed the Third Grade Reading Law to ensure that students exit third grade reading at or above grade level. The law states that beginning with the 2019-20 school year, third-graders could be retained if they demonstrate reading proficiency levels that are more than one grade level behind.

Drop-off/Pick-up procedures

Our pick-up and drop-off procedures worked very well in past years. We would like to thank all drivers who cooperated with the pick up and drop off rules. This is a very dangerous area for children to be unless these rules are followed.
