AGCS Summer Reading & Math

"Summer Slide" is a real thing. It is the fact that students of all ages lose math and reading skills over the summer break if they don't keep using them.

But it isn't hard to keep those skills sharp! It doesn't have to be expensive, time consuming or boring! AGCS staff have provided reading and math tasks to get you started.
