Summer reading is an essential activity for improving reading and writing skills.  Students are expected to read the books indicated below.   Students will be assessed throughout the school year in the form of various writing assignments.  Written summaries on the assigned readings are recommended but not required, as they will not be counted as a grade.   

These books may be downloaded to your device through the iBook store, purchased through an online retailer, or the hard copy book may be used.  Students will need to be able to access these books throughout the school year.

The Math Department at Cabrini High School believes all students can achieve in math.  In order to assist students in retaining material from their previous course, we require the completion of the Summer Math Packet before the first day of school in August.  
 
The Summer Math Packet includes comprehensive, practice problems from the math course the student has just completed as well as relevant concepts and skills for their upcoming coursework.   On the second day of class, the work will be collected and graded, and there will also be a short, timed Quiz on the problems found in the packet. NOTE:  You will be expected to complete the material in the Intro to Algebra Packet and the Algebra 1 Packets without using a calculator. 
 
Select the class you are entering to find the correct packet (PDF).

The Summer Math Packet will be available for download on Cabrini’s website by June 10, 2026.
