Students at Saint Agnes School can find their Summer work packets in the Resource Documents section of FACTS/RenWeb.
Arlington Catholic believes that the truth and beauty found in language can inspire students to become life-long learners. We believe that reading deepens students’ understanding of ideas, provides an opportunity for reflection and self-discovery, and broadens perspectives. With that in mind, we have long supported a summer reading program that encourages students to read for pleasure as well as enlightenment. Summer reading is an integral part of the School curriculum- across disciplines- providing an opportunity to foster imagination, and enhance critical reading skills.
Please read the books listed and bring them to school with you on the first day of classes. For some courses, you are asked to complete an accompanying exercise, thinking guide or dialectical journal. Bring those assignments to school with you on the first day of classes as well.
Happy Summer Reading!
