Summer Reading
Our summer reading, A Wrinkle in Time, is a sci-fi mystery that focuses on themes of friendship, courage, and growing up, themes that we will explore in our first novel of the year, When You Reach Me. The main character in When You Reach Me loves this book, and it plays an important role in her story. Read it over the summer, and you’ll be ready to spot the connections and understand important clues in the story.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program
All students in grades 6-12 are required to bring a laptop computer to school each day. Laptops have far more access compared to mobile devices and will expose students to integrated digital tools that will prepare them for future success. This model will allow students and teachers to consistently use technology as a tool for learning, exploration, and organization. More details about the BYOD program:
