Most AP courses assign required summer work for which students are responsible on the first day of class. Students who move into AP classes over the summer (including the end of the summer) are responsible for this work, too. To start next year comfortably, please complete assignment/s by Tuesday, 8/30/22. Many of these assignments will take some time so please look at them right away so you can plan ahead.  

For the actual assignments, please see the Summer AP Assignments guide on the library website. It is linked on the home page. For your convenience we share the guide with you here:

Read with us! You are invited to the next all-school book club meeting on Thursday, May 5, during activity block in the library.  The book club meets twice a year, and this is our second and last meeting. We hope you can come.

The Girl Up club is collaborating on this meeting with us. The reading theme is "Women's Empowerment" and we have built a recommended list of books for you to choose from. Read whatever book you like and come to the meeting and talk about it. 

 

All of the recommended titles are by and about women of color. Ideas explored can include:

  • Feminism
  • Sexual harassment
  • Sexuality
  • #metoo movement
  • Race
  • Mental health

For the list of recommended books and more information, please stop by the library and look at the display and ask the librarians questions, look at the bulletin board in the hallway outside the library, and see the Book Club guide.

We hope you can come!
