Summer Math Assignments

 

Students will sign in to IXL and click on Recommendations ( which is under Learning). The only requirement for this summer math assignment is that students must complete a minimum of 4 hours of work on their personal recommendations, based on their grade level.

 

We will look over summer IXL work once school starts in September. Students who worked on their assignments for the minimum number of hours for their grade will earn a 100 for their first test grade of the 2024-2025 school year.

 

Please know you may bring a snack for half a day. We hope you enjoy this summer time with your family and friends!

 

God Bless,

Mrs. Fondonella & Ms. Schifano
