Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrollment (DE) Summer Assignments

Posted: June 7, 2018

For students who have enrolled in an AP or DE course for next school year, the summer assignment begins building a foundation of course content and a common understanding before the new school year starts. Summer assignments allow the student to focus on course material without having a full course schedule. The summer assignment allows students to get a head start on course work and allows you to experience the depth and breadth of the type of course work you will experience once the course officially starts in the fall.

Available summer assignments are located by pointing your Web browser to https://www.staffordschools.net/Page/21686. All available summer assignments will be accessible no later than Friday, June 15, 2018.

Please note: If a summer assignment is not available, this does not mean that there is no summer assignment. Students should check with the Advanced Placement (AP) or Dual Enrollment (DE) teacher who instructs the course to find out if there is a summer assignment.
