FREE Summer Reading Program!

 



Dear 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grade Parents,


Desert Canyon Elementary has been chosen to host a free Summer Reading Program through our District!  Students who are struggling in reading will get the chance for intensive small group reading practice in a fun setting.  This will have a positive impact on those readers who need some extra support for next year.  If you are interested, please contact your child's teacher to see if they qualify.  Groups of 6-8 are forming up, and space is limited. The deadline to apply is May 17th.  You can contact Mrs. Roach (3rd), Mrs. Smith, or Mr. Robinson if you have any questions about our program.  Thank you!
