High School Summer Reading!
Students, before summer kicks in and the end of the year is upon us, remember you have summer reading for the next school year. CLICK HERE for the summer reading folder. Please also take a look at the Common Types of Plagiarism document in the folder from the University of Arizona so you can avoid falling into any of the pitfalls.
Also, if you have any assigned novels or books that you purchased for this year that you don't need again, please consider donating them to the English teachers so they can have them on hand for students who need them next year.
Middle School Summer Reading!
All middle school students are required to complete summer reading before the first day of school. Students will be tested on their comprehension and knowledge of the books at the beginning of the school year. Make sure your child has their book read by the first day of school!
Rising 6th Graders: Call it Courage by Armstrong Sperry
Rising 7th Graders: Students have the option of reading either The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordian or Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz.
Rising 8th Graders: The Boys in the Boat (Young Readers Adaptation) by Daniel James Brown
