Read to Succeed Updates
K-5 teachers….Thank you for sending home the letters and class registration codes about Read to Succeed. Parents will log reading time electronically.
Please put these dates on your calendar!
April 15 is the final day for students to log reading time.
April 16 is the final day for teachers to log in and confirm reading logs.
Parents and students are very excited about this program! If you would like a teacher ticket to Six Flags for participating, you need EIGHT students in your class to participate and meet the reading goal.
Reading Goal: Students must complete 6 hours (360 minutes) of recreational reading to earn one FREE Six Flags ticket. • Students can read books, eBooks, magazines, newspapers or comic books (digital or hardcopy). Reading for homework or a class assignment does NOT count. • Teachers must have at least 8 students that complete the required 6 hours of reading to earn a FREE Teacher Ticket. The 8 students must be submitted by the deadline. • Teachers must verify that their students have been added into their accounts by the deadline (our deadline for this is April 16).
