Hi,
Hi,
To help prevent summer slide, some vendors are making subscription products available in the summer for free. These are the ones I know about. If you know about others, please share. I included information about other access points, too. Please share this information with staff, students, and parents. I am not trying to promote specific vendors; rather, I am sharing about free opportunities.
