Hello parents and guardians!

I hope you are all enjoying a summer filled with fun and learning. Did you know that there is a tendency for students to lose some of the learning gains they made during the school year over the summer?   It is more commonly referred to as the “Summer Slide”. We would like to ensure our students stay on top of their reading game by encouraging them to continue to read this summer and there are many ways to do this!

Pinellas County Schools has teamed up again this summer with various reading partners, including the Pinellas County Library Cooperative, Reading with the Rays, Barnes and Noble, Scholastic and myOn to encourage summer reading. We hope you encourage your children to participate in many of the summer reading challenges and activities that run throughout the summer including the Reading on the Go challenge through the myOn online reading platform. To help your students stay on top of their reading game and participate to win weekly prizes, visit our summer reading webpage at www.pcs.org/summerreading where you will find a variety of summer learning ideas, suggested reading lists and to log each book your student reads.    There will be multiple winners each week chosen from students who log into myOn to read or log their reading on our webpage.   Look for our posters and billboards all over town and keep your students reading on the go!
