SUMMER PACKET 2026 SESSION

The 2026 Summer Packet program is an educational initiative supporting ongoing operating expenses while providing academic continuity for students entering third through eighth grade. These $17 packets reinforce previously learned concepts and introduce upcoming material to prepare students for the new school year, featuring a complete answer key for flexible learning around summer travel. To support students, the program includes five Saturday Q&A sessions held at the library in study rooms M through Q, where participants can attend to receive direct assistance. Access to these sessions requires packet registration, and we emailed signups to parents once enrollment is complete.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

All students need to take the diagnostic test to participate the program. The purpose of the diagnostic test to help us to group the students with the same level of math ability in the right group. This is to help the students to maximize their learning. We don’t want students to be bored due to materials are not challenging and at the same time to be lost in the classroom because the materials are too hard. It is a 45 minutes test in person at the library. We will have two groups per test day. Each group will be able to accommodate 20 testers. Please sign up so we can email you the testing procedure.
