Dyslexia Tidbit
Co-Occurring Conditions
"Dyslexia often occurs with other conditions. These include:
- ADHD
- Dyscalculia
- Dysgraphia
- Written expression disorder
- Executive function challenges
- Anxiety
- Depression
A full evaluation looks at other areas besides reading. It can help identify some of these conditions, too. Understanding all of the challenges can let you address each one."

A Note from the Principal
Ms. Heidi
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to fill out the monthly survey. It will close tomorrow. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we appreciate you and your support of our school.
Emails will be going out this week to invite the first round of students to participate in our after-school/weekend tutoring. There will be a form in the email for you to fill out for this.
A Note from the Front Office
Mrs. Kelly Disbrow

A Note from the PTA
Mrs. Shelby Lear, President
PTA General Membership Meeting – Tuesday, September 9 at 3:30 PM
Join us in the parking lot by the Dragon’s Den for our first meeting of the year!
We’ll share exciting plans, give you the opportunity to vote on what the PTA will be doing this year, and Spirit Wear orders will be ready for pickup, all while enjoying free popcorn. We’ve got some very exciting things in the works that you won’t want to miss!
We’ll also have a uniform and gently-used spirit wear swap, so start cleaning out those closets now. Bring any school-approved items to donate and pick out something new-to-you to take home.
Check out the flyer for all the details. We can’t wait to see you there!
Next Pizza Friday
Mark your calendars for our next Pizza Friday coming up on September 12! Orders are due by 11:59 PM on Tuesday, September 9. Don’t miss out!

PIE Oral Reading Homework
Your child should have oral reading homework assigned Monday-Thursday nights from their PIE teacher for all grades. Oral reading fluency is critical for reading comprehension, which is why this is the homework assigned in PIE. Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately, quickly, and with expression.Fluent reading builds stamina for reading lengthy or complex texts. Reading fluency serves as a bridge between word recognition and comprehension.
How can you help your child with their homework when they are reading aloud to you?
- do not allow them to guess
- if they have difficulty with a word, just give them the word and let them finish the sentence (if you want to, you can circle or underline the word(s) they had difficulty with; it would be best to do this after the child has finished the passage, so they are not self-conscious about "seeing" their errors)
- when they finish the sentence, ask them to re-read the sentence before moving to the next sentence
- if they are making numerous mistakes while reading the passage, chapter, story, etc., please make a note on the oral reading homework to let your child's PIE teacher know

Monday Dress Theme Days and $1 Dress Down or Jeans Day/$1 Hat Day Friday Dress Codes
On these alternative dress days, the following apply
- NO holes or tears in clothing or jeans are allowed unless it is covered by fabric behind the tear(s).
- NO pajama bottoms or flannel bottoms allowed on any day, to include Friday Dress Down Day, unless the dress theme for Monday is specifically stated for Pajama Day.

With the 2nd or more offense, the parents could be contacted to bring an extra set of clothes for the child, and the student will not be allowed to participate in the next Friday’s $1 Dress Down day.
Drop-Off/Pick-Up
Please note that there is only one entrance and a different exit for the property. All cars must enter off of Hwy. 93/E. Main Street and exit onto Frank Parrott Road (see map).
It is imperative that you do not use the entrance as an exit as this can be dangerous for those pulling in.
Do not move cones that are in the parking lot; they are there to keep our students, teachers, families, and anyone else on our property safe.
