Dear Families,


It was another great year full of learning at WHES! THANK YOU for supporting us, learning alongside your child(ren), and for your commitment to making Woodmen Hills THE best school!


While summer learning might be the furthest thing from your mind right now, we also know that you might wish to engage your child(ren) in some fun learning at home at some point during these next several weeks! We have compiled all platforms students have access to this summer, as well as a 20-day virtual learning platform for all grade levels and content areas sure to be fun, while practicing various skills and engaging in hands-on activities. We included a packet of K-2nd grade reading materials for families to put to use, too.


D49 Nutrition Services is also offering summer meals - you can read more information below.

K-2 Summer Sprout Resource Packet K-2 Summer Sprout Resource Packet

With the excitement of summer break ahead, it's a perfect time to emphasize the importance of reading for your child. Summer is a time for relaxation and fun, and it's a great opportunity to maintain the progress your child made throughout the school year. However, “summer slide" can happen, and students can lose some of their hard-earned academic skills during the long break. With your support, you can keep your child's learning momentum going strong. Reading is the perfect summer activity because it's educational and enjoyable. By encouraging your child to read regularly during the summer months, you can help them review the skills they've worked hard to develop. You can also read to your child! Reading to children in English or their first language offers many benefits. It fosters a strong bond between parent and child and enhances language development, fluency, and comprehension skills. It also cultivates a love for reading, igniting imagination and curiosity, and opens doors to a world of knowledge and possibility.


The link below contains several pages that have been created to help foster and nurture the skills your student has learned throughout the year and to have a little fun while doing so!
