The required summer reading books are posted on the website. Students must read the required books during the summer break and expect discussion, review and assessment when they return from summer break. Please note that this is not optional nor is it a competition; all students must read the required summer reading books. They are quite interesting books! Teachers will not delay any related assignments once school starts; all reading must be done prior to school starting. As page numbers will be referenced during class discussions, specific editions are suggested. Therefore, the necessary ISBN numbers are indicated as well.

2017-2018 School Year Calendar

Throughout the year, there have been many improvements with technology usage in the classrooms. In addition to the added middle school technology course and additional high school computer courses, several activities have been incorporated in the lessons: Plickers, Kahoot, Socrative, Office Mix, Skype for Business, Flipgrid, and Storybird. As per the student reviews, the activities have been well received. Ask your children about the technology usage in their lessons, and please provide us with your feedback.

To further this improvement, we plan for all our students to have their own Microsoft Surface next school year. As this will involve your input, please expect a survey very soon! Student success is always our aim and technology usage is a must in order to best prepare our students.
