BOOK IT! Reading Program
Beginning Monday, we will be participating in the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program.
Your child can earn a coupon each month for a free personal pan pizza. Your
child will receive a Passport to Reading when he/she redeems his/her first reading
reward coupon and can earn a new sticker for the passport each time he/she
redeems a reading reward. The only thing you have to do to help your child earn
his/her reading reward coupon is record the story/stories your child reads each
night in the homework folder. If the folder is filled out for 85% of the month,
your child earns his/her reading coupon.

Dear Parents,
Want to see what your child is up to in art class this year? Miss Mac found an app to
connect you with the classroom. It’s called SeeSaw and it’s been so much fun! To
see the pictures we take of your child’s art or fun classroom moments, you’ll need to
go to https://app.seesaw.me/s/885-153-123 to sign up -- it takes just 30 seconds. Once
you do this, you can download the free “Seesaw Parent” app for iPhone or Android,
or access your child's journal on the web. We will continue using it next year so sign
up once, and it’s good for the rest of elementary school! Thanks and I hope you enjoy!

P.S. If you have more than one child using Seesaw, or have used Seesaw before, sign
in and click on your profile icon > + Add Child to add this year's journal.
