The very first edition of the Abramson Science and Technology yearbook has arrived! This full color, hardback book is filled, cover to cover, with special memories from the 2008-2009 school year. Students and teachers have already begun signing each other’s books and reminiscing over the events captured in this priceless book. A copy of the yearbook can be purchased at school for $25.

All students must return their textbooks to school by May 29, Friday. If a book is lost or damaged, students must pay for the price of the book. As you know the books were scanned to the student’s name and the students must return their own books. If a student brings someone else’s book, it doesn’t count for the student.

Summer provides many opportunities for parents and young children to enjoy unforgettable books together. Before entering each grade, each Abramson student should read or hear at least three of the books listed for that grade. Parents of elementary students may consult one of the Read-Aloud Handbooks by Jim Trelease for additional selections. If substitutions are needed, parents should try other titles by the recommended authors. This list will be revised annually by the Reading Specialist at Abramson. read more . . .

Kindergarten - Just the word sound cutes! Of course, kindergarten represents an environment for four or five year old to discover the beautiful world around them. Kindergarten is meant to teach the kids how to share and care, make new friends and spend some time on their own, away from the warm cocoon of parents and home. It is a great opportunity for them to learn new things on their own, ask questions and get the answers. It is a stepping-stone for future education. Well on May 21, 2009 our kindergarten class of 2009 achieved their goal of becoming first graders. It is with great honor that I present Abramson Science & Technology Charter School Kindergarten class of 2009.
