High School Resources

Northwest Local School District is excited to share a list of resources students and families can use for summer learning opportunities.   These activities and resources are a way for your child to be engaged in learning for the months of June through August.  These opportunities are voluntary and will not be graded by a teacher. 

Suggested ways to keep your children engaged during the summer months... 

• READ DAILY! Encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes a day.  

  • All 2020-2021 NWLSD students have Cincinnati Public Library Accounts!  Read all about it here. View a screencast to show you how to activate your account here.  If you are a recent enrollee, signing up for your public library card is easy and can be done online here. 

  • Check out NWLSD Reads to view booktalks from district librarians and connect to the ebooks and audiobooks from the public library.

  • Just finished a great book? Find out what to read next here.
