Summer Learning

Every student in LISD is expected to read or be read to this summer. Books, magazines, cereal boxes, paper, or digital, everything read counts.

Every middle and high school student in LISD is expected to read a book of their choice this summer. Students need to be prepared to discuss their reading with classmates and English/Language Arts teachers next school year. For more info, visit the SR4A page.

Though elementary students are not assigned specific work to do over the summer, all elementary students are encouraged to read all summer long. For engaging and educational activities designed for elementary-aged students, please visit our Elementary Summer Learning Fun website.

IXL & NWEA MAP Connection

As was done with the Math BoY and MoY MAP data, the Math EoY MAP scores will be uploaded by the last day of school into IXL to allow students to access their MAP Skill Plans over the summer.

Khan Academy SAT Math Practice:

SAT Strategy Archive may be used to help practice for the types of math problems a student will see on the SAT and PSAT/NMSQT. The Khan link will help students learn about the four categories on the math section of the SAT Suite of assessments: Heart of Algebra, Passport to Advanced Mathematics, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, and Additional Topics in Math. For those LISD Students who have linked their College Board results for the PSAT/NMSQT or SAT to Khan Academy, please continue to use the account you have already set up. How to link your scores.

For incoming 11th–12th graders:

Your son or daughter took the PSAT in October, and a hard copy of the PSAT Score Report and test booklet was provided through most English and math classes in January. The most beneficial feedback your student receives is by logging into their College Board account, linking with Khan Academy, and reviewing the actual PSAT test questions. Students who link their College Board account with Khan Academy receive a personalized learning plan for skill building.

For all students:

If your son or daughter has not yet taken the PSAT, he/she may create a Khan Academy Account and take a brief assessment to receive a personalized learning plan for skill building.
