Greetings APES students,

Below you’ll find a list of the three assignments you are responsible for completing this summer. They each have different deadlines. You will be sharing all assignments to Sarah.Duffer@acsgmail.net.

Next year be prepared to:

• read between 10-15 textbook pages per class period (and completing the corresponding chapter vocabulary and study guide assignments)
• read outside books, essays, news stories, etc.
• complete projects (including a year-long research project, at least one presentation per nine week term, current events projects, et cetera),
• complete lab reports

Similar to life, you get out of classes what you put into them. I look forward to a fast paced, energized, challenging, and dynamic year with you!

Get ready, let’s go APES!
