Summer Learning
Summer Reading
This year, students in each school will participate in a Summer Book Swap during the week of June 1, where they will get to choose 2-3 books to keep and read over the summer.
We hope you enjoy your Summer Reads!
Summer Math Bingo
This summer, we invite you to play Math Bingo with us!
Math really is all around us. As you meet each challenge, cross off the square on the bingo card. Can you cross off all 20 squares?
K-5 students will receive a printed card with their Summer Reads. If you don't receive it and would like to play:
