Good morning, PGMS Families!

Great news! Our district now has access to Epic, a digital reading platform that provides students with access to over 20,000 books!

We are excited to offer this resource to our students as we continue encouraging a love of reading and strengthening literacy skills across all subject areas.

What does Epic offer?
  • Thousands of Books: Access to over 20,000 books, including fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, and more!
  • Fun Ways to Read: Students can enjoy traditional books, Read-To-Me books, and audiobooks.
  • Personalized Reading: Book recommendations based on students' interests and reading levels.
  • Interactive Learning Tools: Dictionary Lookup, vocabulary games, and quizzes to support reading comprehension.
  • Reading Rewards: Fun badges and Reading Buddies to celebrate reading progress.
  • Multilingual Options: Books available in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, and Gaelic.
Participation is automatic unless a parent or guardian chooses to opt out. If you would like your child to participate, no action is needed! You do not need to complete or return the form.

Important Information: Parent Opt-Out Option

We are excited to provide students with access to this valuable reading resource. However, we understand that families may prefer for their child not to participate. If you DO NOT want your child to have access to Epic, please complete the electronic opt-out form or print a copy and return to the school. A physical copy can be provided by request of the parent.

Our goal is to provide students with engaging opportunities to explore new books, discover their interests, and develop a lifelong love of reading. Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to help our PGMS Eagles SOAR!
