Summer Reading
Summer is a time to relax, but it’s also important to keep minds active. Reading even one book helps prevent learning loss and prepares students for the year ahead. Unsure what title to choose? Click on this link for a grade-level book list, and free print, digital, and audio books are available through BCPL.
Summer Math Supports
Check out the flier below for details on math support systems to help your child over the summer.
If your child is currently enrolled to take Math 7 or Math 8 for the 26-27 school year, and are interested in taking Algebra 1 in Grade 8, you will have to demonstrate success with math content between your current course and the accelerated course on a readiness assessment at the beginning of the school year.
PLEASE NOTE: This assessment for acceleration is voluntary and optional.
Interested students will assess the first week of school to determine their readiness to change their math placement for the 26-27 school year.
- Math 7 students will take an assessment covering prioritized grade 6 and grade 7 content to enroll in
Math 7B/8.
- Math 8 students will take an assessment covering prioritized grade 8 content to enroll in Algebra 1.
For questions, please contact Samantha Treat, mathematics department chair of Parkville Middle at [email protected].
To register your student, complete THIS FORM by August 30th, 2026.
