New this year, all students will engage in online summer math work to enhance skills and ease transition to the next course level. Requirements vary depending on your course placement and must be completed prior to the start of the school year.
Because math is a cumulative subject, there are skills from multiple previous courses that need to be reviewed. Please note work will most likely be completed from two different prerequisite courses.
