Summer Math & Reading 2022

"Knowledge is Power."
Sir Francis Bacon
This summer, we ask all students to help prevent the summer slide by reading and practicing their math skills.  These assignments are recommended for Preschool - 2nd grade; they are required for 3rd - 8th grade.  Research tells us that students who begin school after a summer of reading and math review, begin the year stronger and make immediate gains.  
  • Rising kindergarteners through 2nd graders will be sent home with a poster that offers fun, optional activities to engage students and help with the "summer slide." 
  • Students headed to 3rd through 5th grade will complete an assignment in a Spectrum Language Arts and Math Workbook. Detailed instructions have been emailed home. 
  • Students moving to 6th through 8th-grade will be assigned a novel study and be required to continue their math practice via an online program. Teachers  reviewed the requirements with students during Move Up Day and sent instructions home in an email to students and parents.

Please reach out to Mandi Jemsek with any questions regarding this summer's reading and math requirements.
