Student Resources

We are challenging every student and teacher to read 1,000 minutes over the summer! 

Why 1,000 minutes? That is roughly 20 minutes a day throughout the summer break except weekends.

Summer reading is critical for you to retain knowledge and skills learned throughout the previous school year. Not reading over the summer puts you at risk for falling behind your classmates. 

​While this is not required, these resources for summer learning promotes and supports reading for pleasure and provides a springboard for reflection in the fall.
