2024 CISD Summer Reading: 7th - 12th Grades:
CISD highly encourages students to read books of their choice during the summer to minimize summer learning loss and help accelerate learning during the school year. We encourage students to do this by participating in summer reading programs through their campus and community libraries, by investigating topics and genres of interest to them, and by growing their critical thinking skills through conversations with others about their reading.
CISD does not require that students read specific books during the summer nor do we assign work based on summer reading.

A summer tradition for 19 years!
Believe it or not, summer will be here before we know it! Now is the time to get your student ready to attend Camp Singalier, CISD's very own summer music camp, close by at The Woodlands College Park High School. This camp has been approved by Conroe ISD, so you know it is the very best in a fun and educational camp for your child! Please view pictures of the showchoir and Camp Singalier at our website: http://cavalierchoir.com/
Sponsored by the acclaimed Rhythm-n-Blue of the College Park Choir Department, Camp Singalier is designed for grades K – 8. Using a variety of exciting activities, your child will learn to sing, dance, and perform songs. As parents, you are invited to see the results of the week's accomplishments with a spectacular performance of entertainment featuring all the camp participants in the College Park High School Auditorium, complete with professional stage lighting and sound!
Rhythm-n-Blue members will lead and assist in all the awesome activities of Camp Singalier. The Rhythm-n-Blue show choir is a very select group of 11th and 12th grade students who are outstanding performers in singing and dancing. Rhythm-n-Blue performs at many civic and school events, and their repertoire spans the best of Broadway and popular hits as showcased in their concerts featured exclusively at College Park to their award-winning performances at state choral competitions such as the Madrigal Festival in Dallas and San Antonio.
Please support this Conroe ISD camp, which is our ONLY fundraiser to purchase costumes and music for Rhythm-n-Blue. By attending our camp, you help us fund this valuable program as we continue to promote music and the arts, not only in Conroe ISD schools, but also in our outreach to the community.
