Important Summer Information for 2014-2015

Hello Parents and Students!
This summer we are requiring students to read at least 2 Dorothy Canfield Fisher(DCF) books. One book, Wonder by R.J. Palacio, provided for you free of charge, to be picked up on or after August 1st at the Milton Public Library. A second book can be chosen from the (DCF) Book Award List. Please visit http://libraries.vermont.gov/libraries/cbec/dcf for more information about the books, including recommended ages and descriptions. A letter with further explanation of our required reading will be also be sent to your homes.
Our current students have received an intervention letter from math department with information about this summer. We recommend that all incoming sixth graders spend about 45 minutes 5 days a week on skills.  This can be done by accessing online websites such as Khan Academy, or Grand Prix Raceway, which can be found at: http://www.mathplayground.com/ASB_GrandPrixMultiplication.htmlThese sites and the practice they provide will help prepare your child for their arrival at the middle school this fall.
