*Please check out the "ANNOUNCEMENT PAGE IN CANVAS" periodically for 6 Week updated information and links for other important document information used throughout the year!SUMMER LEARNING OPPORTUNITY: (8TH PRE-AP STUDENTS 2020-2021)

• EJH Advanced Social Studies classes in US History for in-coming 8th graders are provided with an opportunity for students to “get ahead” in the next school year. However, this assignment is NOT MANDATORY.

1. The assignment’s intent is to let those who want to get ahead to have the summer to do this.

2. The assignment will also be offered to ALL students on the first day of class and be given a reasonable due date.

3. Those who do the “assignment” will NOT receive extra credit or a grade for working on items over the Summer.

4. The assignment may be found on the EJH Website under Euless Jr. High News on the right side of the screen, on the District webpage under Advanced Academics or directly below. Just scroll down to the bottom of this page. There is a google document or a Word document. (9th graders may go to Mr. Archey's website or the District webpage)

5. Before completing the summer assignment, make sure you have been enrolled in the advanced class.
