Summer Library Hours |

Summer Reading Program The Guthrie CSD & King County Consolidated Library, in cooperation with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, is sponsoring the Texas Reading Club 2012 “Get a Clue…at the Library!” Programs and activities are planned to promote reading as a leisure activity, to stimulate curiosity, and encourage children to use library resources. The Texas Reading Club is self-paced and fosters reading success by asking children to record titles of books that they read or the length of the time they spend reading each day. A certificate signed by the Texas governor will be awarded to each child who attains reading goals. We will be kicking off our Summer Reading Program on Wednesday May 30. Program Dates: Wednesday, May 30 Wednesday, June 6 Wednesday, June 13 Wednesday, June 20 Wednesday, June 27 Program Times: 3-yr-old through Pre-K : 1:00-1:45 Kindergarten & 1st: 2:00-2:45 2nd & 3rd: 3:00-3:45 4th & 5th: 4:00-4:45 The date of our summer reading field trip to Lubbock (which requires the reading of 8 books and attendance of two programs) will be announced when we visit with you to agree on a good day for this. Our plans are to attend the Science Spectrum to view “Flying Monsters” followed by a visit through the museum. From there, we will go to Mr. Gatti’s Pizza for lunch, games, and spending of earned tokens. Again for each book read on the child’s reading level, a token will be awarded to play. The last stop will be Barnes and Nobles for free books for those who have read 8 books on their reading level and filled out reading logs with parent’s signatures. We are looking forward to having lots of fun and hope you will enjoy summertime reading. If you have any questions please call JoAnn Shipman or Romy Ferguson at (806) 596-4069, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 8:00am-6:00pm, throughout the summer. |

One Small Thing |
 | Parental Access to Grades/Attendance Launched Guthrie CSD is opening txConnect, an online portal by which parents can monitor their child’s grades and attendance via the Internet. Many districts in the state and nation are already using this kind of communications technology in order to help parents stay informed, and to forge stronger relations between parents and the school. Grades and attendance records are private information protected by law, thus processes to ensure secure access to this sensitive information have been put in place. A password is generated for each student. This password is the key to entering the txConnect system. Once parents have set up an account in the system they will have access to their child’s grades and attendance, from any place where they have Internet access. Interested parents should come by the Administrative Office of Guthrie CSD and see Sherri Adams to sign for receipt of their password for access. Links for access to txConnect and easy-to-follow tutorials click on the link below:  http://www.guthriejags.net/parents/index.php |
