Once again Kingswood Regional High School will be offering summer school for students in grades 9-12. Summer school is designed for students who completed and did not pass one of the offered courses during the regular school year or for those who like to enhance their understanding of a subject. Summer classes will begin on Monday, June 29th, and run through Friday, August 7th, 2009. For more information or a brochure contact Guy Donnelly at Kingswood Regional High School (569-2055).
The purpose of summer reading is to enhance students’ exposure to books and reading beyond the constraints of the school year. This practice is supported by the GWRSD commencement goals, which advocate the development of reading skills and the appreciation of arts including literature.
All students in 11th and 12th grade Honors and AP English courses will be required to complete summer reading. Students must read all of the selections at the appropriate grade level unless otherwise indicated. Students should take notes to facilitate recalland keep a detailed reading journal, which will become the basis of assessment when class begins. To see the lists please click here.
