Summer Math 

As we begin our summer break, one of the main concerns for teachers and parents alike is how to maintain student learning and achievement. We don’t want to fall into the “summer slump.”

For Reading, our AR website will be live to your student at home with their same username and password. Students can read books on their level and take tests beyond what is required on the Summer Reading List. Last year, we had a few students read more than 100 books just over the summer! With a little daily reading time set aside, what can your child achieve?

For Math, fact fluency is critical. Mastering basic facts allows students to move beyond computation to higher-level thinking skills. It simplifies the processes of solving word problems and increases accuracy. While IXL builds and reviews specific skills, it doesn’t give true repetitive practice.

To that end, ACS would like to recommend Time4MathFacts which is part of the Reflex Math program. Time4MathFacts is a research-based, adaptive, interactive program for mastering math facts. It monitors student progress and provides reports for parents. Time4MathFacts is a commitment of $40 to register your child, but this gives you access to the programs for a full year. While it is not required, we strongly encourage you to consider it for your child. Having automaticity with facts will provide your child with such an advantage!

If you are not able to commit to the $40, there are also free websites that allow for the practice of facts. Though it is not our school page, this school in New York has a great compilation of sites found here that focus on facts. We do, however, recommend the Time4MathFacts for consistency and monitoring, but any practice is beneficial!

Supply Lists (Incoming Pre-Kindergarten - Eighth Grade)

You must purchase both sections if you did not opt-in for the bulk option at registration. Everyone purchases the top half.

Scroll down for the lunch ordering instructions.
 

LUNCH ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:

These instructions may look different from your smartphone.


Parents K-8 Only (PK must bring their lunch)

1) Log into your Family Portal Account. 
2) From the main screen, click 'Student Information.'
3) Click 'Lunch' in the same section.
4) Click 'Create Web Order" at the top. 

5) Select which days you would like an entree by scrolling down the page and putting the number of items in the QTY column. You do this for EACH child for each day of the week.  NOTE: Do not order meals for all your children under one child's name. If you have multiple children, you will see tabs for each child. Please check carefully when ordering.
6) When done ordering, scroll to the bottom and click 'Order Items.' If lunch items are in blue on your lunch calendar on your PC or a black dot on your app, then lunches were ordered for that day.
7) The charges will now display (they do not bill until the next day) for the student on your Family Portal portal to be paid on the Family Billing screen.  We suggest keeping a deposit in your account.

NOTE: Lunches are billed after they are eaten the day of. You can pay from your student billing page and even pay over the amount to have a credit on your account. You will have until 1:00 pm each school day to order for the next school day and until 1:00 pm on Friday to order for Monday. (For example, you need to order by 1:00 pm on August 12 for lunch on August 15.)  You also need to order by 1:00 pm the school day before vacations to have lunch when we return.

If your child has an upcoming field trip or will not be in school, go back into your lunch menu and change the quantity to zero and then click "order items" to update.  This must be done before the actual day of the lunch.



Balances are to be paid in full every month or you will receive a late fee and risk being shut off. We must pay the restaurants on delivery.  We do not carry balances with them.  This is why it helps to keep a deposit in your lunch account.

If your child is absent, their meal will be held in the refrigerator and given to them upon their return the next day.  We cannot keep lunches for more than one day so this cannot be done for Friday lunches or holidays.  It can also be given to a sibling, if applicable, to bring home.  If you know before 1:00 pm that your child will not be in school for lunch the following day, you can go to your account and cancel lunch by clearing out the quantity on each item and hitting submit.  We do not refund lunches.

As the Easter Season ends and the school year winds down, vacation begins. But it is not a vacation from our Catholic faith. How and where do families find spiritual enrichment during the summer months? While we are entering the Ordinary Time of the Church’s liturgical year, there is nothing ordinary about the feasts we have over the summer months that can be highlighted in the home. 

Another important summertime feast is the Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus, celebrated this year on June 11^th. We will be celebrating our annual Eucharistic Congress the two days prior to this feast. You will want to attend that as a family, taking part in the Mass, the Eucharistic Procession, and the speakers. On the actual feast day, plan some special family activities, announced ahead of time which culminate with a family meal using the good dishes. For more ideas:   https://blog.holyheroes.com/5-ways-to-celebrate-corpus-christi-as-a-family/

Early Church history and tradition teach us that each day of the week has a theme that can help us celebrate Ordinary Time. During the summer months, consider these daily focus activities:

Sunday: Weekly Easter (take a flower walk, visit a fountain, review Baptism, color eggs, https://www.catholicfamilyfaith.org/easter-season-resources.html

Monday:  Honor the Holy Angels (learn an angel prayer, converse with a guardian angel, do an angel craft https://www.catholicicing.com/angel-art-projects/)

Tuesday:  Honor the Apostles (memorize their names, learn the Act of faith, read Scripture, trace the missionary journeys found in Acts of the Apostles)

Wednesday: Honor St. Joseph (do a wood project, have a dad’s day with a special dad’s lunch, do a St. Joseph craft: https://thekennedyadventures.com/celebrate-saint-joseph/)

Thursday: Reverence of the Holy Eucharist (attend morning Mass, spend time with the Blessed Sacrament, reread the story of the Last Supper, make unleavened bread)



Friday: Meditate on Christ’s Passion and Death (make a small sacrifice, fast, banish family bickering, review the Stations of the Cross, and set up Stations around the house, here is a simple set: https://wau.org/resources/article/re_stations_cross_kids/ )

Saturday: Honor our Blessed Mother (make a Marian shrine, watch the Song of Bernadette, pray a rosary, memorize a new Mary prayer https://www.marypages.com/prayers-to-the-blessed-virgin-mary.html

Ordinary Time is just not so ordinary.
