Ready Set Go: Summer Week 1
Hello Breakthrough family!
Welcome to our first Ready Set Go summer communication. Thank you so much for completing your child/ren's enrollment for next year. We are so excited to welcome another class of scholars to our schools in August.
This summer we will be sending weekly messages with summer events, grade-level appropriate book ideas and reading materials, and other activities to help your child be ready to start the next school year off on a great foot. These will come in addition to summer messages you will receive from your specific school.
Thanks so much for your time. If you have *any* questions at all during the summer, be sure to contact me personally.
