If payment has not been made by the Monday prior to the camp that starts the following Monday you will forfeit your spot to a child on the waiting list.

If payments cannot be made online, they can be mailed to the school office, but payments must be received at least 1 week prior to the first day of a camp session. We ask that parents use the payment methods as outlined. If questions arise regarding payment, contact Kelly or Jessica at 619-232-3794 or kelly.tompkins@citytree.org.

Middle School Summer Reading Resources & All School Reading Resources |
|
Studies show that students who are engaged academically during the summer months are more likely to start the school year successfully. Students entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grades are strongly encouraged to select books within their Lexile range (this is information that students may already have and can be found in the Reading section of their MAP results).
Visit one of the buttons to the right for reading lists.
You can also visit your local library!
Help your child get a good start to this summer project by selecting a book early in the summer. Completing this summer reading will allow students to exercise their critical thinking muscles over the summer and get a solid start to the new school year.
|
|
As you look ahead to next year, it is time to start thinking like a middle school student! With summer here and many of our middle school families making plans July and August, we wanted to provide some important information to consider as you look ahead to next year. Whether your child is going into 6th, 7th or 8th grade, there are several key things you can do as a family over the summer months to usher in the start to a successful new year.
- Check out the attached list for middle school preparedness.
- Encourage your students to READ! Complete the REQUIRED SUMMER READING CHALLENGE!
- Each student is required to read and log a minimum of 300 minutes (about 5 hours). Check out the attached log and challenge info. Students earn Language Arts points for the first 300 minutes, and then fabulous incentives for reading beyond the first 300 minutes! We would love to see EVERY student meet the 1000-minute challenge!

-
Everyone must wear a mask indoors at City Tree. Children and adults, whether or not they are vaccinated, do not need to wear masks outdoors.
- ·Preschoolers and Kindercamp students who nap do not wear masks while napping.
- Campers, participating water activities (beach, water play, etc.) do not wear masks.
Other Information-
- Contact the school office (619) 232-3794 immediately if your child is sick, is a close contact with anyone who is COVID positive, if your child is presumed to be COVID positive or does actually test as COVID positive.
- Students are still required to stay home for 24 hours after symptoms clear up, with a negative test.
