Scott Charter School

Dear SCS Families,

Please find the attached letter outlining the recent third-grade promotion law, which requires that students meet specific academic criteria in reading and literacy to be promoted to the fourth grade.

It is important to know that preparing for this requirement begins well before third grade. From kindergarten onward, our teachers intentionally build foundational literacy skills that support long-term reading success. The work we do together, starting in the earliest grades, makes a difference in ensuring students are on track by the end of third grade.

We recognize that this law affects both students and their families, and we want to ensure that everyone is fully informed. Our school and parents must work together to support our students in meeting these expectations. We encourage open communication and collaboration; if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Parent meetings for K-3rd grade families will be held on October 1st (K-1st grade) and October 2nd (2nd-3rd grade) at 5:30 to provide more information about reading success for students. We value your partnership and look forward to working together to help your child succeed.

Thank you,
SCS Administration
