SUMMER 2026
Mathematics
DUE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
The exercises included in the summer packets aim to assist you in revisiting important topics from your previous math courses, which are crucial for your success in the upcoming math class. It is required that you bring the completed packet to school on the first day of classes, and it will contribute to your grade for the first quarter. In addition, you will be EVALUATED on the material covered in the packet upon your return. To ensure you receive maximum credit, it is essential to SHOW YOUR WORK clearly and neatly.

Welcome Message from the Union School ELA Department
Union School’s English Language Arts Department warmly welcomes families and students to our newly redesigned Summer Reading Program. Reading is central to student learning, as it strengthens comprehension, writing, vocabulary, and critical thinking.
