For a number of
years Huntsville Elementary and Huntsville Middle have
been sponsoring regular "Family Reading Nights". These
involve opening the library and computer lab for an
evening event. Parents and other family members are
encouraged to bring their student(s) during this time to
read books with them and to allow them to take
Accelerated Reader Tests on the books. The Huntsville
Elementary regularly serves Pizza or snacks and provides
door prizes. Once a year the reading night includes a
“Family Book Fair Night” and regularly the PTO holds
brief informational meetings during break-snack time.
It is exciting and encouraging to see
such a positive event. Attendance frequently tops 100
and each reading night is highly anticipated by
students. They love to have a chance to show-off to
family while earning extra “AR” points. The interaction
between parents, grandparents, siblings, or other family
and their student(s) is wonderful to observe. The event
also provides an opportunity for parents to interact
with teachers on an informal note and to better
understand their child’s academic performance.
"Family Reading Night" begins at 6:00 pm
and ends at 8:00 pm. Please make plans to attend.
At Huntsville Middle School we feel that
communication between parents and teachers will help to
establish great work ethics for our students. Every
mid nine weeks we send home a Progress Report.
This report enables parents to monitor their child's
progress. Listed below are the mid nine weeks dates:
