Middle School Summer Learning

Students who just completed kindergarten through 8^th grade can use their school-supplied laptops to access iReady online learning. 

iReady provides:

• Personalized lessons in reading and math
• Practice based on your child’s skill level
• Self-paced learning
• Progress tracking for families

Students can log in anytime during the summer from any location with internet access. This helps prevent the “summer slide” and keeps skills strong for the next school year.

6th grade Jump Start helps students transition smoothly into the academic and social environment of middle school. It provides support in academics, social integration and the practical skills necessary for success in middle school.
