Frankton-Lapel Community Schools

Purpose

• The summer reading program is an endeavor by FLCS to see that students in grades 5 - 12 have a broader background in reading and an opportunity to read for enjoyment.

General Requirements

• All 5th through 12th grade students will read two (2) books from the appropriate Reading Counts list. Reading Counts books available for selection are posted on Scholastic's Book Expert Online site.
• Each Reading Counts book selected must be at least 100 pages in length and grade-level appropriate.
• Students may complete the required Reading Counts tests during the three (3) summer testing dates or during the first full week of school, no later than August 23rd.
• Students are encouraged to test during the summer testing schedule; all tests must be completed on or before August 23rd.
• Reading Counts test scores for the summer reading program will be applied to the student's first 9 week's grades.

Guidelines

• Any student who attended FLCS schools for all or part of the previous school year is responsible for reading both books and for taking the tests.
• If a student who has not attended FLCS schools moves into the district between the end of the school year and July 1, the student will have one book waived. Each building will provide the necessary information about summer reading to all new students.
• If a student who has not attended FLCS schools moves into the district between July 2 and August 1, the student will have both books waived. Each building will provide the necessary information about summer reading to all new students.
• Expelled students remain responsible for all books for the grade level at which they return to school.
• If a student takes a test in another student's name, using another student's ID number, both students will receive a zero (0%) for that test.
  Students who do not complete tests by the assigned times will be given a grade of zero (0%) for those tests.
• Books can be checked out from FJSHS, FES, LES/LMS, and LHS on the testing dates. Additionally, students can utilize the Frankton and Lapel public libraries as well as other resources.
