Summer Learning
DU Middle School
Dear Middle School Students,
Hello and welcome to the DU middle school! We hope you have an amazing summer, full of yummy food and fun times. However, we also hope that you don't forget to learn a bit while taking a break. Please look below for your incoming grade (the grade you'll enter in August) and find activities you can complete during the summer. Should you complete ALL of these activities, for both your core and religious subjects, you will be able to join the Back to School party once school resumes, Insha'Allah!
Sincerely,
Your Middle School Teachers đŸ˜€
PS - You have been enrolled in an IXL contest, so do as many IXL over the summer as you can! Click here or login to IXL for more information on the contest.
