2020 Online Summer Resources for Students and Parents

Summer, 2020

Dear Parents,
As parents, we always want to help our children during the summer months to get a head start on the upcoming school year, especially as this year we engaged in distance learning for the final several months of school.

In order to support student learning this summer, GGUSD has put together a variety of online resources for students from kindergarten to 12th grade in one convenient location. The variety of online resources will help your students stay on track with their learning, and to be ready for the new school year. Additionally, we have provided links with parent resources connecting you to information about academic, wellness, and community resources.

MATH TEXTBOOKS

We encourage all students to continue practicing their Math by reinforcing what they already know and getting a preview of what is to come in their upcoming grade. The links below provide access to the textbooks that your child will be using in the coming school year. Students can also use their own log-in from this school year to access their textbook:

WRITING SUGGESTIONS

During the summer months, we suggest you continue to minimize television viewing (unless it is educational) and have your child write in a journal every day to keep his/her writing skills sharp for the upcoming year. Have your child write letters to family members in different states or countries, express his or her feelings, write stories or poems and even summaries of the books s/he is reading. Writing is a muscle that we want to make sure stays strong during summer and is ready for school in the Fall.
