Dear Parents,As the year progresses, we ask that you continue working with your children on their homework assigned by their teachers. Anytime you have questions, contact their teachers so they are able to help. If you’d like for them to do more, take time each night and read a book with them to show them the importance and power of reading!
What is Title 1 and how does it impact Harding?
