*WHAT? Access to Study Island!* Study Island and your personalized
Learning Paths provides lessons and practice to keep your math, science,
and reading/language skills SHARP over the summer! You can also access
many other academic areas you are interested in, such as social
studies/history and science!

September 7th, 2018!

students experience learning loss when they are not engaged in educational
activities during the summer. Additionally, some score lower on
standardized tests at the end of the summer vacation than they do on the
*same* test at the beginning of summer vacation. Return to school on top of
your game!

have a login and password, which has been used in various classrooms
throughout the school year. If you’re not sure what yours is, contact Mrs.

PLEASE BRING A BASKETBALL FOR YOUR SON/DAUGHTER TO USE
Will focus on developing players’ overall physical and mental skills
through teaching fundamentals and drill work. Skill development will
include ball handling, shooting, scoring moves, footwork, finishing around
the basket, and defense. We will also focus on intangible aspects of the
game from our experiences as college and professional basketball players
including: hard work, perseverance, leadership, toughness,
teamwork, aggressiveness, and academics. We believe spring and summer is
the most important time of the year for individual improvement so we hope
this can be a great start to the offseason and give them drills to work on.
This will not be a camp where we roll the balls out and let them play 5v5.
Kids play enough 5v5 in practice, open gyms, AAU, etc.. We want the kids
getting in the gym to focus on individual skill development in a hard
working, fun, and competitive environment.
Having the privilege to work with University of Wisconsin coaches, NBA
coaches/trainers, and European professional coaches, there are many skills
and drills I have been able to learn to improve as a player. The consistent
theme will always be the fundamentals and little details to improve
individual and team performance on both ends of the court.
Instruction will be provided by:
*Josh Gasser*: Former Wisconsin Badger & European Professional
Among other coaches
*Health Tip:*
As summer approaches we fill our calendars with fun, vacations, relaxations
and appointments. As we close the current school year and prepare for the
2018-2019 school year please make time to get all the necessary
appointments done ahead of time.
Doctors visits: physicals, Immunizations, medication forms, etc
Dental visits: see your family dentist *or *fill out paperwork to
participate in the School Dental Program we offer here at school.
Vision: be on the lookout for squinting, complaints about blurry vision,
headaches, worsening performance at school, short attention span, losing
one’s place when reading, avoidance with reading, and turning head from
side to side when looking at something.
Take time to schedule these appointments ahead of time to avoid the rush
and stress at the beginning of a school year. We want your children at
school, ready to learn. Please contact your school nurses if you have any
questions or need help finding access to care.
