Social Circle Primary
Join the Summer Reading Adventure with your Summer Reading Buddy!
Here's How it Works: Students have decorated and named their buddy. On the back of the buddy are 10 reading tasks/challenges.
To complete the challenge, students should choose 10 of the tasks on the back of the buddy and make a picture with their Summer Reading Buddy completing each challenge. They will need to complete 10 challenges but are only required to submit 5 photos. Photos can be emailed throughout the summer as they complete each challenge, or they can email all photos at the same time to:
Primary School: scps.readingbuddy@socialcircleschools.org (upcoming K-2nd Grade)
Elementary School: sces.readingbuddy@socialcircleschools.org (upcoming 3rd-5th Grade)
Please include the student's first and last name and the grade level for the 24-25 school year in the email. Photos will be posted on Class Dojo to keep the excitement going and encourage reading!
***NOTE: Rising 6th graders are encouraged to complete the middle school summer reading challenge.
Students should turn in their Reading Buddy to the media center no later than Monday, August 8th with the student and parent signature and 10 checked tasks. The buddy will be returned to the student at the reward ice cream party at the end of August so that they will have this memorabilia from this fun summer activity.
This is a voluntary activity.

Summer reading and learning about yourself! The ELA department has worked to compile a list of pieces that we believe will assist you in learning something about yourself and ways to help improve your school year when you return.
We have created grade specific pieces that you will choose from. Please choose from the grade you will be in when you return in August. Make sure you read the instructions under your appropriate grade level as the different grade levels have different tasks assigned. When you return to school in August you will have an idea of ways that you can start out successful!
