(ES): Esta semana conmemoramos Juneteenth, un poderoso recordatorio de la libertad, la resiliencia y el progreso. 🖤❤️💚 El 19 de junio de 1865, más de dos años después de la Proclamación de Emancipación, la noticia de la libertad llegó finalmente a los últimos afroamericanos esclavizados en Galveston, Texas. Juneteenth marca este momento histórico y honra la fortaleza, la cultura y las contribuciones de la comunidad afroamericana.

Les recordamos que todas las escuelas y oficinas del NASD permanecerán cerradas el jueves 18 y el viernes 19 de junio con motivo de la conmemoración de Juneteenth.

As a reminder, all NASD schools and offices will be closed on Thursday, June 18 and Friday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth.

(ES): ¡Sigan leyendo este verano! 📚☀️ Los alumnos de kínder que pasarán a primer grado recibieron sus paquetes de libros decodificables de “Just Right Reader” basados ​​en la Ciencia de la Lectura durante la última semana de clases. Estos libros fueron seleccionados específicamente para cada estudiante y son suyos para conservarlos mientras continúan desarrollando sus habilidades de lectura durante todo el verano. Las familias pueden fomentar la lectura en casa disfrutando de los libros juntos, animando a los niños a releerlos, conversando sobre las historias y utilizando los códigos QR para acceder a video lecciones de fonética disponibles en inglés y español.

Un agradecimiento especial a los especialistas en lectura de las escuelas primarias Cole Manor y Hancock, quienes visitaron el Musselman Learning Center para ayudar a distribuir los libros y conocer a los alumnos que se incorporarán a sus escuelas como estudiantes de primer grado este otoño. 💙📖 ¡Feliz lectura, NASD!

Families can support reading at home by enjoying the books together, encouraging rereading, discussing the stories, and using the QR codes to access phonics video lessons available in English and Spanish.

A special thank you to the reading specialists from Cole Manor and Hancock Elementary Schools, who visited Musselman Learning Center to help distribute books and meet the students who will be joining their schools as first graders this fall. 💙📖 Happy reading, NASD!

(ES): ¡Este verano, nos enorgullece asociarnos con Chick-fil-A para organizar un Desafío de Lectura de Verano en todo el distrito! ❤️☀️📖🐮 Los estudiantes pueden llevar un registro de los libros que leen (o que les leen) utilizando un registro de lectura y ganar recompensas en el proceso, como un cono de helado gratis tras leer 5 libros y un menú infantil gratuito después de leer 10 libros. Los registros de lectura deben entregarse en la escuela de su hijo en agosto para recibir cupones canjeables en los establecimientos participantes de Chick-fil-A: East Norriton y Trooper Road.

Los estudiantes deberían haber recibido un registro de lectura impreso antes de salir de vacaciones de verano. ¿Necesita otra copia? Descargue el registro de lectura correspondiente al nivel de grado de su estudiante:
📚 Hoja de lectura para primaria: tinyurl.com/cfa-srK-4
📚 Hoja de lectura para escuela intermedia: tinyurl.com/cfa-src5-8
📚 Hoja de lectura para escuela preparatoria: tinyurl.com/cfa-sr9-12

La lectura habitual ayuda a prevenir la pérdida de conocimientos durante el verano ("summer slide") y mantiene a los estudiantes interesados ​​en el aprendizaje mientras no hay clases. ¡Esperamos que se unan a nosotros para hacer de la lectura parte de su rutina veraniega!

(EN): This summer, we are proud to partner with Chick-fil-A for a district-wide Summer Reading Challenge! ❤️☀️📖🐮Students can track the books they read (or are read to) using a reading log and earn rewards along the way, including a free ice cream cone after reading 5 books and a free kids meal after reading 10 books. Reading logs should be returned to your child's school in August to receive coupons redeemable at participating Chick-fil-A locations: East Norriton and Trooper Road.

Students should have received a printed reading log before leaving for summer break. Need another copy? Download the reading log that matches your student's grade level:
📚 Elementary Reading Log: tinyurl.com/cfa-srK-4
📚 Middle School Reading Log: tinyurl.com/cfa-src5-8
📚 High School Reading Log: tinyurl.com/cfa-sr9-12

Regular reading helps prevent the "summer slide" and keeps students engaged in learning while school is out. We hope you'll join us in making reading part of your summer routine!
