All students in grades 1 through 12 have summer assignments in reading and math to complete before the first day — here’s how to find the information on summer assignments for grades 9 through 12 in Warwick:
Reading:
Students in grades 9 through 11 have a one-book reading assignment to complete by Sept. 3.
To complete this assignment, students must finish a graphic organizer and a constructed response [essay].
The school district has also helpfully posted this rubric, or grading system, for the constructed response.
