Dear Incoming First Grade Parents,
If your child is a current St. Greg’s student, they have been registered for Khan Academy. If you are new to St. Greg’s, you will have to register them yourself. They will use this site to keep their skills sharp over the summer. They will need to complete a minimum of 15 hours on lessons of their choice from Khan Academy. In September, your child will need to show a certificate of completion for their hard work and efforts over the summer. You should have already received a class code from Mrs. Mulligan on the Google Classroom page, but if you did not, the code is listed below.
Have a great summer and I look forward to meeting you all in September!
Thank You,

Dear Incoming Second Grade Parents,
To give your child a “head start” in second grade I have assigned summer assignments in Khan Academy. Your child will be required to complete at least 15 hours of work in order to receive a certificate of completion. The work will include both Language Arts and Math.
If your child is a current St. Greg’s student, you will be getting an invitation and instructions to join Khan Academy thru Google Classroom. You will need this class code (7FDUHXZE) to set up an account for your child. If you are new to St. Greg’s, you will have to go to Khanacademy.org to register them.
I would also ask that your child read or be read to during the summer. I have included a Summer Reading Challenge book list. I will collect the list the first week of school. Your child will receive an extra credit grade of 100% if completed.
It is also important that your child memorizes their math facts to 20. So please practice over the summer.
Thank you for your cooperation. Have a great summer.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Carmela Raffetto

Dear Parents/ Guardians,
The summer assignment for anyone entering 7th grade is used to practice grade level objectives and to improve math performance with word problems. There are 14 multiple choice questions and 6 short/long response questions for a total of 20 questions. Your child has the option of printing out the assignment or they can put their work with the answers on a separate sheet of paper. I ask that for the 6 response questions you make sure your child shows work (i.e. equations, formulas, substitution, any math computation…). It is important that you make sure your child does their absolute best on this assessment so I can better help them next year.
In addition to this assignment, students can complete 5 Gold Mathletics certificates throughout the summer. To receive 1 gold certificate, your child must get a total of 1,000 points during one week (Monday through Sunday). To get 5 Gold Certificates, they need 1,000 points each week for 5 weeks total. They can print the certificate and bring them in on the first day of school.
