Reading & Summer Assignments

Reading Assignments are all suggested summer assignments for standard elected courses. Students will have time to complete the assignments in the month of August. The assignments are listed for those to have access to and complete ahead of time. With registration in advanced coursework, it is the expectation of those students to continue with their elected course work and prepare for the coming school year by continually practicing the skills they have worked on all year.

IBDP Courses

With that, the below assignments will be listed by grade level below.

What is my schedule?

Freshman:

In the spring, incoming Freshman from feeder middle schools (West End & JT Moore), were able to register from site visits by Hillsboro counselors. If you were not a part of this pre-registry, choose the assignment that fits what level of English class you took in 8th grade.

Sophomore:

In the spring, your registration with counselors at Hillsboro routed you in the direction of classes that you were planning on taking. If you are new to Hillsboro, choose the level that matches what coursework you took your Freshman year. If you are planning to pursue the IB DP diploma or CP diploma your Junior & Senior year, choose the assignment that matches Pre-IB.

AP Access for all!

Hillsboro supports students choosing advanced academics! To prepare for Advanced Academics via AP Course offerings, it is recommended that students prepare over the summer by researching course offerings and using online study helps found at Tennessee Electronic Library. For AP study guides, please email Joyce.Claassen@mnps.org for help.
