Summer Lists

Dear SFDS Community,

We hope that you are well and that you are enjoying a restful and happy summer! In preparing for the coming school year we have organized the following summer lists for your review. Depending on your class and grade level, you may see as many as three different lists:

•  School Supply Lists - The school supply list is organized by grade level.

•  Suggested Reading - One of the most basic fundamentals of the educational process is the notion that consistent reading leads to considerably greater student success and improved study skills. This is a list of optional, suggested reading material that is appropriate for each grade level.

•  Suggested Summer Work List - If you are interested in having your child review or work on further curriculum and sharpen study skills, this is a list of optional, suggested work that is appropriate for each grade level.

An important caveat is that the Suggested Reading List and the Suggested Summer Work List are not mandatory, they are completely optional. They are merely guidelines that should be used with parental discretion as to what is best for your child.

One of the greatest reasons for our academic success here at St. Francis de Sales is that we have such wonderful parents who are very involved in their child's education. We hope that these summer lists are helpful as you continue to prepare your child for the coming school year.
