Happy Holidays, Team & Family!
IDEA Public Schools will be closed for Winter Break from Monday, December 19 – Monday January 2. Students will return to school on Thursday, January 5, after staff development days. During the break, we encourage all our students to continue reading and engaging in fun learning opportunities!
IDEA’s AR Zone & iLearning Hotspot software will continue to be available at home through Winter Break. Encourage your child to read at least 30 – 60 minutes a day during the break. In addition, set goals for the number of words your child should read by the end of break and do something special when he/she reaches it. Check out some of our suggested winter and holiday book titles below and this free coloring book from GetParentingTips.com.
