All St. Bernard's students preparing to enter first through eighth grades participate in the Summer Math program. The program consists of math curriculum that students have previously learned and is designed to help them retain basic computation and arithmetic skills during summer break. Each grade has its own requirements and curriculum for Summer Math.
Students use one of two online programs to complete their summer math curriculum: Aha!Math or ALEKS. Both programs are web-based and can be accessed from any computer that has Internet access. Both programs require a username and password, which were sent home with each student in May.

Incoming first- and second-grade students will be using Aha!Math and should spend a minimum of 1 hour per week on their lessons:
Incoming third- through eighth-grade students will be using ALEKS QuickTables and/or ALEKS arithmetic courses and should spend at least 1-2 hours on their curriculum each week, depending on their grade level:
* All QuickTables include facts 0-12
**Arithmetic includes math concepts for the grade that students completed during the 2010-2011 school year.
All students will receive a grade for their Summer Math work. Those who complete their curriculum will also be recognized at a Monday morning assembly at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. The chart below shows specific grading guidelines and recognition requirements for each grade.
