Welcome, Falcons!
As we all know, summer provides a wonderful opportunity for students and families to enjoy great books together! Reading over the summer also helps students maintain or even improve their reading skills.
In June, the district distributed one required summer reading book to all students entering grades K–12 along with an assignment. These assignments should be completed and returned by September 15. Please see the school specific tabs at the top of this page to access the summer reading assignments digitally for each grade, along with many additional resources for your child(ren). Encourage your child(ren) to take some time to read this book as well as others they might find enjoyable. The more students read, the more they learn, the better they write, and the more background knowledge they have to share during the school year.
We would love to share pictures on our website and social media accounts of our students and/or families reading this summer. Please send your pictures to media@greenburghcsd.org.
On behalf of the entire GCSD family, we wish you all an exciting and fulfilling Summer of Reading!

¡Bienvenidos, Halcones!
Como todos sabemos, ¡el verano brinda una oportunidad maravillosa para que los estudiantes y las familias disfruten juntos de excelentes libros! Leer durante el verano también ayuda a los estudiantes a mantener o incluso mejorar sus habilidades de lectura.
En junio, el distrito distribuyó un libro de lectura de verano requerido a todos los estudiantes que ingresan a los grados K-12 junto con una tarea. Estas tareas deben completarse y devolverse antes del 15 de septiembre. Consulte las pestañas específicas de la escuela en la parte superior de esta página para acceder digitalmente a las tareas de lectura de verano para cada grado, junto con muchos recursos adicionales para su(s) hijo(s). Anime a su(s) hijo(s) a tomarse un tiempo para leer este libro, así como otros que puedan encontrar agradables. Cuanto más leen los estudiantes, más aprenden, mejor escriben y más conocimientos previos tienen para compartir durante el año escolar.
Nos encantaría compartir fotos en nuestro sitio web y cuentas de redes sociales de nuestros estudiantes y/o familias leyendo este verano. Envíe sus fotos a media@greenburghcsd.org.
¡En nombre de toda la familia de GCSD, les deseamos a todos un emocionante y pleno Verano de Lectura!
