Summer Assignments

Are you planning to take Honors, AP or IB classes for next year?  If so, I want to remind you that many of those classes will have summer assignments.  AP/ IB teachers along with a few Honors level teachers have been working hard to prepare meaningful learning opportunities to help you get a jump start for their classes during the summer months.  Please pay close attention to the announcements each day because there will be meetings before/ after school for students to meet with the teachers for next year, to learn about the summer requirements and expectations, and to understand what you will need to do if you have questions or need support. 

It is also important that all students are aware that there is a drop deadline of July 15th for all Honors, AP and IB courses.  Prior to July 15th students can drop the classes without penalty.  After July 15th the summer assignments are still required and the grades for the summer work will be transferred into the new class that you will transferring into for next year instead of your intended class.  So, it is important not only that you know what you will need to do, but also to start working on the assignments - at least enough to make sure you feel confident that you are going to enjoy the course - so that you will know by July 15th if you feel you are going to need to change out of that class.
