Summer Learning Assignments - Preparation for Next Year
This summer all Middle Schoolers will be asked to enrol in an online, summer, math course on Khan Academy. Students will receive instructions and will be required to enrol in this class before the end of the school year.
The course will be monitored by the teacher they will have in the 2020-21 school year.
When a quiz or test is completed, students will immediately see their results and receive recommendations on how to improve their learning.
If a student receives below a 75% on a quiz or test they should follow the course recommendations and watch the provided videos and practices before re-taking that quiz or test again to achieve a higher than 75% final score.
It is recommended that students work their way through the assignments throughout the summer at a timely pace and not cram before the start of the school year.
Recommendations for what you can do as a parent:
Ask you son or daughter about, and monitor the results of their quizzes. Be sure that their scores are increasing after they have done the practice work associated with each quiz. If they are not improving they may need more structure or monitoring doing the assignments.
Possible reasons for not improving:
There will be an assessment given in the first week of school to see how much of the summer material the student has mastered.
Students should login into Khan Academy using their Cotopaxi email address to complete their assignments.
If a student did not register for their course at the end of the school year then they will need to click on the teachers button and enter the join code for their grade level.
Links to all assignments are provided below, but all students can see these on their assignments page.
