Welcome to McAuliffe International School!
SUMMER READING
To help prepare our students for a successful start to the year, we require independent reading over the summer. The IB learner profile traits include being inquirers, and what better way to demonstrate this trait than reading a great book? As a bonus, research shows that kids who participate in academics during the summer perform significantly better than those who take time off. Each grade level will complete specific tasks for their summer reading, so be sure to click on the appropriate grade for your student.
Take the surveys linked below to enter your book suggestions from your summer reading:
6th grade book suggestions survey
7th grade book suggestions survey
8th grade book suggestions survey
And be sure to visit the Denver Public Library over the summer to check out books! McAuliffe staff and students will be at the Park Hill branch at 4705 E. Montview on Mondays from 10:00am-12:00pm and at the Sam Gary Library in the Stapleton Town Center (2961 Roslyn) on Fridays from 10:00am-12:00pm, June 9th-August 8th (except July 4th).
