Fountaindale Families,
The teachers at FDE have recently begun studying a book called “Every Child A Super Reader,” written by Pam Allyn and Ernest Morrell. It is our hope, that through this book, we will be able to help all students become super readers, and those who are already super readers to continue to grow as readers. Most chapters of the book have a section called “Super Reader Family Guide.” This section typically shares the main ideas, strategies that teachers are discussing and implementing at school with strategies you can use at home to foster your child’s love of reading and support their growth as super readers. Click on this link to read a letter to you about super readers. Click on this link to learn about the Top Ten Ways to Nurture a Super Reader. Both resources are in English and Spanish. Just a reminder that Friday is the last day to pay the iCoverage fee and turn in the loan agreement and Acceptable Use Policy if you would like your student to borrow an iPad over the summer. Both forms are provided here and the iCoverage can be paid through www.myschoolbucks.com ![]()

It is that time of year again! Registration is open for the Growing Naturalists Summer Camp. This summer, Fountaindale will be under construction for the new HVAC system, so our camp will be held at North Hagerstown High School. We will still be using the Fountaindale Wetlands and Hamilton Run as an outdoor learning space, but we will be walking there from North High. Please return the forms to Fountaindale by Monday, May 28th. The registration form is available for download below. ![]()
