Minnesota Reading Corps Tutor

Great news! Verndale Elementary has been awarded Minnesota Reading Corps tutor! We will have 1 full-time Preschool Literacy Tutor next year, who will continue working with kids who need a boost to get on track to read by the end of third grade. Minnesota Reading Corps tutors are AmeriCorps members and do not replace teachers. Every year, the program sees real growth in its students. Here's what you should know about our tutors: 

 

We will recruit our Preschool Literacy Tutor(s) to serve for 11 months, beginning in August. In exchange for their service, tutors receive a modest living allowance and an education award to use towards their own schooling. The Preschool Literacy Tutor(s) will be placed in a classroom and will work with children ages 3 - 5 to develop their early literacy skills in preparation for kindergarten. Reading Corps provides our school with the expertise of an outside literacy consultant (Master Coach) who provides support and oversight by visiting the school regularly. 

 

If you know someone who might be interested in becoming a literacy tutor - a graduating college student, a friend in career transition, a grandparent or stay-at-home parent (click to see Meet Potential Members )- please direct them to www.MinnesotaReadingCorps.org to learn more and apply.

Welcome to the Verndale School Website!

We are very excited about our website; please feel free to browse awhile.  Our staff and faculty have been hard at work to get this website up and running, please check back often in the coming weeks as pages will be created and updated regularly. 

In our website you will find a classroom website for each teacher including a contact form for easy communication, lesson plans, useful links, and lots of extras!  Other great pages include Athletics, Clubs and Groups, Student Recognition, and Community Education.

It is our goal to create a website which will be a great resource for parents and students.  If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas for our new website please complete the Website Communication Form.
