Thomas L. Reeves Elementary of the Long Beach School District will host this meeting Tuesday, September 16, 2025.
Families will receive an overview of the Literacy-Based Promotion Act (LBPA), the state law concerning literacy and assessment, as well as strategies that can be used at home to help students improve their reading skills.
