Compass Community Schools is committed to ensuring every student has the resources and support they need to succeed. To help achieve this, we ask that parents encourage their children to engage in the following activities:
Daily Reading:
Grades K-2: Should read or be read to for at least 20 minutes every night.
Grades 3-8: Should read for at least 30 minutes every night.
*This practice develops strong reading habits and improves comprehension skills.
Grades K-2: Use flash cards to practice math facts daily.
- Grade K: Addition and Subtraction Facts to 10
- Grade 1: Addition and Subtraction Facts to 20
- Grade 2: Addition and Subtraction Facts to 30
Grades 3-4: Use flash cards to practice math facts daily.
- Grade 3: Multiplication and Division Facts to 10

*Memorizing math facts allows students to solve problems quickly and accurately.
This frees up brain power, enabling students to focus on problem-solving and reasoning.
*Students should use scratch paper to show their problem-solving.
