Student Summer Work
At Saint Theresa Catholic School, we believe that summer is an important opportunity for students to continue growing in knowledge, virtue, wonder, and wisdom. Summer reading and enrichment help strengthen academic skills, cultivate a love for learning, and encourage meaningful family engagement throughout the summer months.
Students entering 2nd grade through 8th grade are required to participate in the Saint Theresa Catholic School Summer Reading Program. Students entering PK3 through 1st grade are encouraged to participate in our recommended summer reading program designed to foster joyful learning, language development, and a love for beautiful literature.
In addition, suggested summer enrichment activities will be provided for all grade levels to encourage continued growth in reading, mathematics, nature study, faith formation, creativity, and family experiences.
Should you have any questions regarding the assignments or expectations, please do not hesitate to contact the school office, 281-494-1157.
We pray your family has a restful, joyful, and blessed summer.
