Here are 3 actions to support summer learning

Ask if your child is on grade level before school is out

Even if your school doesn’t have spring conferences, reach out to your child’s teacher. Check out this simple tool to help get the most out of your end-of-year conversation.

Questions to Ask Your Child’s Teacher About Reading and Math, and how to help at home.

Protip:

Teachers say the #1 way to know how your child is progressing is to be in regular contact with the teacher (not relying on report card grades)!

Build a plan for what's next

Get a jumpstart on preparing your child for high school and beyond. Explore key milestones, class choices, career pathways, and more.

Connect to summer learning opportunities

Take advantage of your school district’s tutoring or summer programs. Based on your child’s needs and interests, find in-person and online summer learning activities.

Did you Know?

Almost 9 in 10 parents think their kids are at or above grade level*. But only 30% of 8th graders nationally demonstrate proficiency or above in math and reading.**

Given grade level standards are inconsistent across states, NAEP "proficiency/above" offers a national standard representing "solid academic performance for the given grade level" which is what we aspire our students to be able to do.
