Summer Reading Information - LMS Only
Summer reading requirements for LMS have changed slightly from the last few years. There will NOT be a common title each student is required to read. Instead, students will choose their own age-appropriate chapter book to read, and be prepared to complete an assignment over basic story elements (plot, setting, characters, etc.) in the fall. This will be graded and incorporated into the English grade for the first nine weeks of the 2026-2027 school year.
