    1. Please do not forget your child's summer homework for middle school. Sparkman Middle School handed out reading assignments to be completed over the summer. If your child is not attending Sparkman check with their school to see what summer requirements they have.

    2. Over the summer your child needs to READ, READ, READ! Studies show that for each month of inactivity in reading causes two months of lapse in students progress in scores. We have a long summer ahead of us so please set aside time that has your child reading on a regular basis.
