Student & Professional Learning / Summer Learning

Happy Summer!

Summer is a wonderful time to engage in learning - outside of school! During family vacations, visits to new places - near and far, and even through play, work and internship experiences - we all continue to learn and grow.

I will be populating this page with some resources that will help you to enjoy your summer learning experiences and update you on the work that's happening in district through the summer months.
