This summer, more than ever, students need a break, and yet we need to balance the need for a break with the need to retain the skills and strategies that students worked so hard to develop this year. Below you will find a link to a website with the details of our required summer reading, as well as plans for enrichment in the four core subject areas. The enrichment work is not required, however, encouraged as students work to retain and build upon the skills they have developed and continue to develop.
