Summer Assignments 2021

Why Summer Reading and Assignments Matter

Research shows that when students are not engaged in educational activities during the summer, they experience learning loss and diminish academic gains made during the school year. The Clearview district acknowledges this research, but also recognizes the need for students to have down time during the summer to relax, reinvigorate and explore alternative learning activities. The district’s philosophy is to provide a balanced summer assignment program that provides academic opportunities with reasonable time allotments for completion. The purposes for our summer assignments are to: measure, maintain and/or sharpen skills; promote academic habits of minds; provide a foundation and preparation for courses; and manage the rigorous demands associated with Advanced Placement courses with regard to established testing dates and adequate preparation time for these assessments.
