Dear THIRD Graders,
You did it! You completed an awesome year in second grade
and are now ready for third grade.
Before third grade starts, you get to enjoy a summer break.
Summer break is meant for fun and relaxation, but it is also
important to take time to review and practice what you
learned in second grade. It will help prepare you for third
grade. To do that, it is your responsibility to finish this
summer work packet.
Let’s strategize ways we can be sure to get this packet done
while still enjoying our summer!

Dear Families,
I cannot thank you enough for such a fabulous and
collaborative year!
Your children have all learned quite a lot throughout the school
year. They have matured and blossomed in countless ways.
Over the long, wonderful break it is easy for students to forget
some of what they learned during the school year. For that
reason, it is imperative that students practice their skills by
completing this summer packet.
The summer packet is MANDATORY and must be turned in to
your child’s third grade teacher on the first day of the new
school year. Please ensure you support your children as they
work on and complete this packet.
Students who do not have their summer packet completed on
the first day of the new school year will be expected to stay
after school the first week completing the packet.
If your child’s packet gets misplaced, please contact the office
over the summer. There will be copies available.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at e.bechill@communitypartnershipschool.org or 443-7166203.
Happy Summer!
Ms. Bechill
