Summer is a great time for students to relax, recharge, and continue growing their reading and math skills in fun and simple ways! Keeping students engaged during the summer can help them feel confident and prepared for the next school year. 🌟

Here are a few easy ideas families can try this summer:

✍️ Write regularly – Journals, short stories, or even writing about summer activities can improve writing and communication skills.
🏫 Visit the library – Many local libraries offer free summer reading programs and activities for students.

A little learning each day can make a BIG difference by the start of school! 💜📚

Mantener a los estudiantes activos académicamente durante el verano les ayuda a sentirse más seguros y preparados para el próximo año escolar. 🌟

Aquí hay algunas ideas fáciles para practicar en casa este verano:

📖 Leer todos los días – Libros, revistas, novelas gráficas o artículos ayudan a mejorar el vocabulario y la comprensión de lectura.
🧠 Practicar matemáticas – Utilicen aplicaciones, tarjetas educativas, recetas de cocina, presupuestos o juegos en línea para reforzar habilidades matemáticas.
🎲 Jugar juegos educativos – Juegos de mesa, rompecabezas y trivias ayudan a desarrollar el pensamiento crítico.

💻 Chromebooks and Repairs for End of the Year

Student Chromebooks will be kept over the summer unless the student is not returning to EISD. If a student is moving on to high school or returning next year, they will keep their device for continued use over the summer.

If a Chromebook needs repairs, please submit it to the librarian as soon as possible so repairs can be completed before the end of the school year and devices can be properly prepared for summer use.

Our goal is to ensure all students have working devices and continued access over the summer.

💻 Chromebooks y Reparaciones para Fin de Año

Las Chromebooks de los estudiantes se mantendrán durante el verano, a menos que el estudiante no regrese a EISD. Si un estudiante pasa a la preparatoria o regresa el próximo año, conservará su dispositivo para su uso continuo durante el verano.

Si una Chromebook necesita reparaciones, por favor entréguela a la bibliotecaria lo antes posible para que pueda ser reparada antes de que termine el año escolar y estar lista para el uso de verano.

Nuestro objetivo es asegurar que todos los estudiantes tengan dispositivos en buen estado y acceso continuo durante el verano.
