  • Summer Reading Program

    Dear SJCS Families,

    Reading Log - We encourage all members of the school community, including students, faculty, and staff, to read a minimum of 600 minutes (or 10 hours) during the summer months.  We know that summer reading is particularly beneficial in helping students retain and expand upon the literacy skills they have developed during the past school year.  All who complete and submit a Reading Log when we return to school (due Wednesday, August 30th) will earn St. Joseph Spirit Shirt privilege on Thursday, August 31st.

    Required Summer Reading - A list of required reading titles for students entering grades 2-8 is posted below.  Please make sure your incoming 2nd-8th grader reads the book(s) assigned to the grade level she/he will be entering in August. 

    Poetry Memorization - Students in grades Kinder-8th grade have an assigned poem to memorize. The homeroom teachers will have the students share the poem by memory, either individually or as a class group, when we return to school in August. Please find your student's grade level poem in the files posted on the school website.  

    Recommended Reading Lists - This summer's recommended reading lists are publications from NCEA (National Catholic Educational Association) and ALA (American Library Association) and are intended to provide guidance as parents and caregivers select summer reading materials for students in grades PreK-8. Feel free to consult these or other recommended lists at your local public library.  The NCEA lists are available on the school website and the ALA list can be accessed at this web link: http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/notalists/ncb
