•   For the second year, Anoka-Hennepin's Summer Virtual Learning will be offering math and reading activity sessions to students entering grades seven, eight and nine this fall. Last year 660 incoming seventh graders, approximately 40%, participated in the program (piloted only to incoming seventh graders).

•   The web-based program is offered during summer break. Each week, students work on five 45-minute activities on their own. A licensed Anoka-Hennepin teacher is available to answer questions one of the five days.

•   The goal of Summer Virtual Learning is to maintain each student's academic gains. Studies show that middle schoolers are more likely to have a decline in their math and reading scores as a result of summer break. Students who participated in last year's program scored significantly higher on assessment tests in the fall (2012) than earlier in the spring (2012).

•   Students at any academic level can participate in the program. Sessions are personalized to each student's learning ability.

•   Access to a computer with Internet service is required to take part in the program. Middle school computer labs will be open once a week for students without this resource, otherwise local public libraries may be an option. 

•   Registration for the Summer Virtual Learning is open. The program runs from June 17 through July 19. More information is available at http://www.anoka.k12.mn.us/summer2013 .

Your responses will be kept confidential and neither your name nor your child's name will be associated with any results.

At Northdale, we have an electronics policy that states all electronic devices need to be put away during the school day unless you have permission from your teacher.  This includes your ear buds.  You need to keep your ear buds put away during the school day, not hanging around your neck. If you are seen with ear buds out, you will first be asked to put them away.  If you are seen a 2nd time with them out, they will be taken to the office for the rest of the day.  If this occurs a 3rd time, your parents will be notified and will need to pick them up from the office.

The graphic link at the top of this page will be a permanent one click link for students to use to check their grades.
