Each student at St. Anthony is expected to continue their learning over the summer months. While summer is a time of rest and relaxation, it is imperative that students spend some time each day on reading and math. This is meant to keep their skills sharp so that the summer learning loss is minimized and students maintain their forward momentum.
Students will need to record their progress on the appropriate tracker and turn it into their teacher next year at the beginning of the school year. These will be graded and be a part of their first trimester grade for next year. Login information will be sent home in June.
