Scholars Guide

As the school year concludes, it is important to our educators and families that we provide opportunities for children to stay engaged with learning during the summer.

KCS has created a Summer Scholars Guide for grades K-8 that serves as a resource for families and aims to minimize summer learning loss and promote preparation for the upcoming school year. Suggestions in the Scholars Guide are optional activities to help students maintain and expand their academic growth over the summer. 

In the Scholars Guide, you’ll find a list of academic standards from the grade level that your child recently completed, with practice tips on subjects that are already familiar. You’ll also find a list of academic standards related to your child’s next grade level, allowing them to prepare for the upcoming school year. In both cases, you may need to adapt the suggested activities to meet your child’s specific needs. Reading is one of the best things your child can do over the summer, and your local branch library has books for students of all ages. The Scholars Guide includes a list of reading topics and suggested educational websites. We wish your family a fun and safe break and look forward to seeing your child back in school next fall!
