Things You Should Know

No Child Left Behind

Where do I obtain the materials and/or resources to complete the summer assignment?

Resources and materials to complete the summer assignment and where to procure those resources and materials are identified within the assignment that is posted online at http://www.parklandsd.org/curriculum/summer_assign.php. The PHS library has been targeted as the place to receive materials if a student missed receiving them prior to the end of the school year. You may sign out a book or materials between 10:00 am–12:00 pm and 1:00 pm-3:00 pm, Monday through Friday, excluding the July 4th holiday.  Please ask the library clerk for assistance. 

Must I complete this summer assignment if I enroll in the Parkland School District after the summer session?

Yes, regardless when a student enters an honors or AP course, if the course requires the completion of a summer assignment, the student will be expected to complete the assignment within 30 calendar days from the first day the student enters the class. Students submitting the assignment late will have points deducted for each day late as identified by the teacher’s grading and class management guidelines. After the fifth day late, the grade will be a zero.

May I submit the completed assignment earlier than the required date?

Students are highly encouraged to submit on the due date but early submissions may be submitted to Department Supervisor Theresa Stack in the PHS library. A verification receipt will be issued when the assignment is received.

What happens if the assignment is late or is not submitted?

Students submitting the assignment late will have points deducted per day as identified by the teacher’s grading and class management guidelines. On the fifth late day, the student will receive a zero for that assignment.

Is the assignment graded and what is the value of the assignment?

Each assignment will be graded as described in the assignment itself. Point values will vary from course to course, but all assignments will be graded.

Do we require a summer assignment for all courses?

Summer assignments are required only for those subjects listed on the Parkland High School website.
