• Summer Learning Supports (Secondary)

    Lake Stevens secondary students and families,

    As we approach summer we want to share resources with you that can be accessed and used in the coming months to keep student academic skills sharpened in preparation for next school year.

    ck-12 logo

    cK-12 focuses on math and science. The staff of cK-12 determined the basic essential learning that must be mastered in selected secondary math and science courses in order to be prepared for the upcoming course. They included lessons, interactive activities and practice problems/answers for these essential learnings in short booklets called flexlets. The table below directs students to the correct flexlet for our math courses:

    Math Course Completed Appropriate Flexlet
    Sixth Grade Prep for 7th Grade Math
