Summer Reading and Enrichment Handbook 2026


Grades > Pre-K to 12

Summer is a season for rest, renewal, family time, and unhurried curiosity. Our Summer Reading and Enrichment Handbook focuses on the one practice we ask of every student: reading. Everything else is framed as optional enrichment for families who want a little more guidance and structure. Explore the updated handbook to see what's required, what's recommended, and what's simply there if you want it. Most of all, enjoy your summer and return in the fall confident knowing the time was well spent!
