Be Respectful. Be Compassionate. Be Great.

"Accept the Challenge 2024-2025"


Engaging Activities to Carry You Through the Summer Days Ahead

Summer is a time for relaxation, but it doesn’t mean learning has to take a break. We challenge families to keep children engaged in educational activities to help maintain their academic skills during the summer months. Accept the challenge and use some of these fun and enriching summer activities that make learning enjoyable.

Learning Ally

Don’t let summer slip away!

Prevent the ‘summer slide’ – the loss of up to six weeks of learning – with the fun and engaging "Summer Reading Together" program from Learning Ally.


Learning Ally has what students want to read, as well as some fun, ready-made and easy to use activities. These activities not only give students a way to interact with what they are reading, but give ideas that allow for a little “bonding over books” at home!


Our Tangi students have access to Learning Alley through ClassLink.
