Pembroke Public Schools Summer Assignments

Pembroke Public Schools
Keep up with education and imagination all summer long to limit the effects of the "summer slide." The summer slide is a decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn’t in session. Numerous studies show that kids who don’t read during summer vacation actually slip in reading ability by the time autumn rolls around.​
All Pembroke Public School Students may visit the Summer Information Quick Links for elementary, middle, and high school students.
Pembroke High School Students
Visit PHS's Summer Work page to review reading and assignment requirements for your upcoming grade and/or classes. Translations of some documents are available in Arabic (عربي), Portuguese (Português), and/or Spanish (Español).
Pembroke Community Middle School Students
Rising 7th and 8th grade students are expected to select and read any book, then answer six selected questions.

The questions and recommended book list are on the PCMS Summer Reading page and are available in Arabic (عربي), Portuguese (Português), and Spanish (Español). Need other recommendations? Visit our Quick Picks for Middle School list!
Elementary Students Entering Grades 1 - 3
The PPS Summer Literacy page provides 6 weeks of resources that you can use to review literacy skills with your child, including games and printable practice sheets.
Elementary Students Entering Grades K - 6
Two recommended reading lists (linked below) are available for all students; these lists were created as a collaboration between the local schools and your library.

Students also have access to LexiaCore5, an online reading skills program.
The above two lists are PDF documents. If you do not see anything after clicking/tapping, please check your downloads folder.
Math Practice for Students Entering Grade 1 - 7
Students in K - 6 in Pembroke Public Schools have access to enVision for math practice and will continue to have access over the summer (entering grades 1 - 7). Access enVison from the school webpage.
The Massachusetts Statewide Summer Library Program is funded by the Massachusetts Library System, the Boston Bruins, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners​, and your local library.
