Receiving a dyslexia diagnosis may be scary, but our founder, David T. Schenck, reminds us that it doesn't have to be. Dyslexia is wonderfully complex and has so much to celebrate! #TheSchenckSchool #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth

@FumikoHoeft So glad to hear it. Thinking of you and hoping for clean scans and a quick recovery!

Our teachers always get creative with their lessons, rain or shine! Our first graders had a blast with this hands-on activity while learning about the water cycle. 🌦️☔ We may have some future meteorologists on our hands! #TheSchenckSchool

Our next Parent Education event is scheduled for September 29th! You can join this event in-person at our Activity Center or virtually over Zoom. We hope to see you there! #TheSchenckSchool

Our students have been reading The Dot by Pete H. Reynolds all week long ahead of International Dot Day tomorrow! To celebrate, students can wear polka dot clothing with their uniform bottoms to school tomorrow. #TheSchenckSchool

Though some outlets had done reading series during the 1990s and 2000's, Hanford told me in a 2018 interview that she "was surprised not to find more long-form journalism about this."

My 11 yr old: "Mom, this might be a dumb idea but I think teachers should have to learn about dyslexia before they become teachers." ❤️
