Dear Sunset Ridge Families, 


I think this will be my last reminder about this survey about Reflex Math if you're the parent of a 1st- through 4th grader. We'll have to make decisions in the next month about that subscription, Lexia Core 5 Reading, both, or none. 


We'll be digging into our Fall assessments on Monday's PD day (in case you're wondering what we do then). Most of our trends are positive! This graph shows 2nd-4th graders steadily improving, on average, in reading scores, and the percentage of students who are "on watch" or recommended for intervention decreasing each year: 

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)


Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!

Finally, if you're interested, I found this article about how different languages make learning math easier or more complicated fascinating!
