Dear EHSI Families,
Thank you for a fantastic year! On behalf of the entire staff, it is has been a pleasure working with your scholars this year. As this school year comes to an end, we wish our 6th graders and their families a wonderful transition to Central Middle School. This year has been filled with many accomplishments and we are finishing the year with a very special award. The Unified Club was awarded one the of the “Faces of Change” awards on Wednesday at PACER’s Unity Award event. The PACER Center provides opportunities & enhances the quality of life for children and young adults with disabilities & their families. Members from our first Unified Club (three years ago) through our current Unified Club (5th & 6th grade) attended the event. The plaque will proudly be displayed in our front office. What an honor!

Additionally, we say good-bye to some wonderful staff members and interns who will not be returning this fall and wish them all the best!
This summer, please encourage your children to read in both English and Spanish; there's a great article below with helpful resources.
We are excited to announce the Explorers theme our scholars voted on for the 2018-19 school year; "Exploring Every Day" will be woven through some of our hallways, classrooms and special events throughout the year. If you are traveling or exploring something new this summer, please send us a postcard or photo with a couple of sentences explaining your adventure. The plan is to kick off our year by filling some bulletin boards with a collection of summer "exploration memories" for scholars to see when they return in September. Submissions may be emailed to:
emcguire@edenpr.org

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. Have a wonderful summer!
Sincerely,
Hernan & Mitch

Student Transfers
As we continue planning for next year, it is helpful for us to know who will be with us. We assume all students will return to us in the fall, but if this is not the case for your child we ask that you complete enrollment/transfer paperwork with your child’s new school.
This will put into motion the transfer to a different school where we can send current school records and will “officially” enroll them in their new place. This way the new school can have everything they need for your child to start in the fall. We will be sad to see you go, but wish you and your child all the best in your next adventures.

Maintaining Spanish (and Other Learning)
Over the Summer
By Jennifer Bowers, Q Comp Coach/Observer
Happy Summer! Family, friends, relaxing, playing, reading, swimming, riding bikes, exploring, creating. So much to look forward to! You may know that summer is also a time when many children can regress or “slide backward” academically. This is especially true with their Spanish proficiency. Below you will find some ideas for resources and activities to weave into your summer to help make the transition back to school in the fall easier.
Reading in Spanish
. This is really important. The Eden Prairie library has a good selection of books in Spanish. At some point you may want to explore the collections at other branches of the library to broaden the options. These branches are not too far away and also have good collections in Spanish: Southdale, Ridgedale, St. Louis Park, and Edina. Some of these locations also have books with CDs for your student to listen as they read. So far no storytimes in Spanish are listed, but it might be good to check back during the summer, or ask at the library so that they know families are interested.
Play Dreambox
. Your child will listen to instructions in Spanish in order to complete the math lessons. Your student will have access until sometime in August when he/she gets assigned to a new class within the app.
Write in Spanish
. This will support your child’s reading, and retention of Spanish vocabulary. We suggest following your child’s interest to keep it fun and fresh. Some children like to make up stories or poems, others prefer diary-style writing, reports of what they learned at the zoo, etc. They could also write letters to their friends from class, if they are interested.
