PREVENT SUMMER LEARNING LOSS!
Research demonstrates that all students experience learning losses throughout the summer months. The level of summer learning loss is impacted by grade level, subject matter and family income. On average, students who do not engage in some sort of reading, writing or mathematic activity each day stand a chance to loose between 1 month and 3 months of grade level equivalency over the summer.
RCMS is encouraging students and their parents to fight back agains Summer Learning Loss by utilizing the following links for summer activities recommended by RCMS Faculty and Staff.
1. My Skills Tutor - My Skills Tutor will be available to students over the summer months. Students may log on using their username and password and complete the activities assigned.
