📚 Just a friendly reminder, if your child has not started their summer reading book yet, this is a friendly reminder to start soon. Please remind them to complete the short writing assignment and bring it with them on the first day of school (August 25th) - this will help their ELA teacher get to know them better.
You can find more information on our AMS website (https://algonquin.d62.org/student-life/summer-reading-program).
Happy reading!

📚 All library books are now due back! Please take a moment to look around your home for any library books and have your student return them to school. Students have received emails with instructions about how to log into their account and see if they still have any books out. Mrs. Wengerhoff has also sent emails out to families if their student(s) still have books out to help remind them. Thanks so much for your help returning our loved library books so students can continue to enjoy them!
