Fighting the Summer Slide - Workbook

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Studies show that over the summer students lose a considerable amount of what they've learned during the previous school year. That's why HPS is sending home Summer Learning bags with every K-5 student in the district.

Set aside time each day to do an activity with your child. This investment will help them stay engaged and retain more of what they've learned.
