Happy Summer!

We hope all of our new and returning Seminole families are enjoying a fun and relaxing summer break! We’re excited to welcome our students back in just a few weeks. This newsletter includes important information to help you prepare for the upcoming school year—please take a few moments to review it!


Parents, each week during the school year, administration will send out a newsletter with important updates, upcoming dates, and helpful resources to support your child. Please be sure to check these newsletters so you stay informed about everything happening at Seminole and what pertains to your child!

At Seminole, we are committed to our Read Aloud A Lot initiative—and that commitment continues throughout the summer! Parents, we encourage you to have your child read out loud to you for 20 minutes each evening. This simple daily habit helps them strengthen their reading skills and retain what they’ve learned during the school year.
