Summer Solutions
Parents, it is time to order your Summer Solutions! Please see the Summer Solutions Flyer below for a promo code. Books should be mailed directly to students' home.
The goal of Summer Solutions is to provide your child with the necessary review they need to retain their skills. With this being said, it is important that they are reviewing skills that they learned from this last year. Because many of our math classes use different books and cover different skills, we want to help you choose the appropriate book for your child. Math is mandatory, but English/Grammar is optional.
If your child is in grade level K-5, please order the grade level your child is currently in. For example, if your child were in 5th grade, during the 2021-2022 school year, you would purchase the 5th-grade math Summer Solution. DO NOT choose the Standards Based Book. Please order the Summer Solutions (Minutes a Day) Book. If your child is in middle school, please follow the directions below. You will need to know what math class level your child is in. The options are S1, S2, T1 or T2.
6th Graders
Math level T2, T1, S2Go to 6th grade and choose intermediate B
