Summer Assignments
Students are reminded that some classes, particularly AP (Advanced Placement) classes, have summer assignments. Assignments are posted on the Summer Assignments page. This year the English department has decided not to assign a particular text for summer reading and there will be no summer reading test. Instead, students are encouraged to read widely for enjoyment and also for expanding their understanding of the world we live in. All students will receive their class schedules with the names of their teachers in the summer mailing packet. Packets will be delivered in July.
