Summer Education Materials
Summer is the perfect time for students to recharge, but it’s also a great opportunity to keep those academic gears turning so they head into next year feeling confident.
To help prevent the "summer slide," CMS has curated a collection of resources covering all core content areas—from math and science to literacy and social studies. These links offer a mix of engaging activities designed to keep your student sharp while still enjoying their well-deserved break.
Summer Packets
The Elementary Summer Packets include 20 days of literacy, math, science and social studies activities to prepare students for the upcoming school year. For example, kindergarten students will engage in activities aligned to first-grade concepts or skills.
Access Elementary Summer PacketsGrade Level Activities
The CMS Website has learning and technology resources to use at home. We know that the adults who spend time with students out of school need more information about what skills students are learning throughout the year, and effective strategies to practice and support learning. CMS has grade-level-specific web pages to help bridge that gap. You can use this site to explore what math and reading will look like for your learner in the upcoming grade level and find ideas to support learning at home. As a reminder, each child progresses differently: your child may still be learning skills from a previous grade or may have already mastered grade-level skills listed on the learning and technology resources pages. The goal is for your child to have access to grade level instruction while receiving individualized support where it is needed. Talk to your teacher about your child’s specific needs.

The Let's Get Ready! Guide is intended to provide family-friendly resources on age-appropriate developmental skills, support tips, and at-home activities where adult/child interactions are the central focus. It is not intended to determine if a child “is" or "is not” ready for kindergarten.
