Math

Each summer we require our students to practice and maintain the skills that they have learned this year in Math.  Students who do nothing over the summer, fall behind and lose the progress they have gained.  Please let your child's teacher know by the end of the school year, which option you are choosing for this summer.

Option A:  Summer Math Skills Sharpener 

-Hard Copy Math Review booklet we have used in the past.

-Order online at this website  

-$20 includes shipping directly to your home

-Order the grade level that your child is currently completing.

-All new students are required to do this option.

Option B:  Math Whizz and Xtra Math

-Students continue to access their accounts at home during the summer.

-Need to log on at least 45 minutes a week for Math Whizz and 3 times a week    for Xtra Math to see growth.

-Progress is monitored and growth is tracked.  Teachers are able to use this  data to prepare for September.

-No Cost

Option C:  Weekly Tutoring 

- if preferred or already in place or another program to be approved by Mrs.    Lawler

·         -New students may choose this option.

Some parents have decided to have their child do both Option A and B.  That is fine, but not required.  Please e-mail Mrs. Lawler or your child's teacher if you have any questions.
