WILLIAM H. TURNER TECHNICAL ARTS HIGH SCHOOL

 

SUMMER READING 2024

​

​

Dear Parent(s) and/or Guardian(s),

​

While the summer months are a welcome opportunity for fun and relaxation, the break from school activities often causes students to experience a lag in learning. In an effort to lessen this effect, William H. Turner Technical Arts School English Language Arts/Reading Department is mandating that all students complete the Summer Reading Project and turn it a week after school has started. There will also be a final assessment in class. Students who fail to turn in the assignment by August 22 or 23, 2024 will receive a Zero and will not be allowed to make up the assignment. Please visit the school’s website or the ELA/Reading Dept. Instagram page @tt_englishdepartment for more detailed information. See assigned reading details below.

Estimados padres de familia:

Los meses de Verano pueden causar que los estudiantes pierdan dos o tres meses de practica en la lectura. Para disminuir este efecto, la escuela William H. Turner asigna un proyecto de lectura de Verano que los estudiantes tienen que entregar el primer dia de clases. Los estudiantes Tambien tendran un examen sobre la lectura. Los estudiantes que no entregen el trabajo de Verano recibiran un zero. Para mas informacion visite el sitio web de la escuela y la pagina de Instagram @tt_englishdepartment. Vea los detalles abajo.

Chè paran:

Pandan mwa ete yo se yon opòtinite akeyi pou plezi ak detant, repo nan aktivite lekòl yo souvan lakòz elèv yo fè eksperyans yon reta nan aprantisaj. Nan yon efò pou diminye efè sa a, William H. Turner Technical Arts School Lang Angle/Depatman Lekti mande pou tout elèv konplete Pwojè Lekti Ete a epi vire l nan premye jou lekòl la. Ap gen tou yon tès final nan klas la. Elèv ki pa remèt devwa a anvan 17 out 2023 pral resevwa yon zewo epi yo p ap pèmèt yo fè devwa a. Tanpri vizite sit entènèt lekòl la oswa paj Instagram ELA/Reading Dept. @tt_englishdepartment pou plis enfòmasyon detaye. Gade detay lekti yo bay pi ba a.
