Year-End Return of School Materials
As the end of the school year is quickly approaching, students are encouraged to begin collecting school materials in preparation to return these items by Friday, June 17, 2022. Any outstanding equipment, textbooks, library books, etc. will be added to student obligations. Students in ninth, tenth, or eleventh grade will keep their Chromebooks and chargers over the summer months.
Summer Reading
The Daniel Hand High School Summer Reading list is now available on the DHHS website. Students in all grades are expected and encouraged to read over the summer. Under the Course Specific Suggestions page, each English course has a list of suggested titles to help guide readers to make meaningful selections. While there is no required reading list, consistent with English classroom expectations, students are expected to continue to work toward their personal reading goals and academic reading goal of two hours of reading per week. As a result of that time reading, a minimum of four titles should be completed by the start of the 2022-23 school year. The majority of titles that appear on the list are recommendations from your classmates. Students in AP and/or certain Honors classes have specific requirements and work is due prior to the start of school, see the Honors & AP Requirements page.
As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Enjoy the remainder of the day and the weekend.
Stay healthy,
Mr. Salutari
