If you feel your family should receive financial aid, it is to your benefit to apply. Awards are assigned by the school after MAY 1st, 2018. www.summersolutions.net Without ongoing review and practice over the summer break, children forget much of what they learned in school during the previous year. This phenomenon is sometimes called the "summer slide." As a result, teachers spend the first six weeks of school reviewing and re-teaching material that was already taught in the previous year. The summer slide delays the introduction of new material meant to be taught in the fall. Over time, students get further and further behind in their academics because of this cycle of forgetting and re-learning. https://www.summersolutions.net/#why-it-works End the summer slide with Summer Solutions. Saint Catherine of Siena School endorses Summer Solutions! As a teacher and a principal totaling nearly 35 years, I see the value in keeping the children sharp in their skills over the summer. It is an incredible benefit. We will begin the process of ordering Summer Solutions in April… . Shopping at the Scholastic BOOK FAIR! 2
