Summer Reading/Academic Work

Summer reading

All Summer Reading books are available from Seven Hills. Please note that for grades 10-12 there are two English courses with different summer reading assignments.

Students should approach Reading Assigned for English Class as a homework assignment. In the first few weeks, students may be asked to participate in discussions and/or write about these books.

Students should approach the Latinx Reading for for Half-Day, Fall Program and Ungraded Discussion as more of a book club experience. Students are expected to read the book and may discuss the work in the English class, but they will not take a graded quiz or write an essay on the book.

Seven Hills rising ninth to 12th grade students received copies of their summer reading books before the school year ended. Students who are new to Seven Hills should come to the school to pick up their summer reading materials.

Summer Reading books can be found in the Andress Art Gallery in the Upper School. The books are the students to keep, so they can write or mark in them as they please. Books can be picked up during our summer hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday throughout the month of July. If you have any questions, please reach out to Upper Office Administrator Hannah Maggard at hannah.maggard@7hills.org

Dress Code

The school’s guidelines for student dress are not meant to be oppressive or to stifle individual expression. Instead, they are designed to ensure that students will dress appropriately for school. Just as parents’ work clothing may or may not be interchangeable with their “dress up” or recreational wardrobes, so students’ closets may contain items which are not appropriate for school. For example, students may not wear to school t-shirts that bear inappropriate or harassing slogans or that advertise drugs, cigarettes, or alcohol. When questions arise regarding appropriate dress, the faculty and administration will make the final decision as to what is proper/acceptable student attire. Other clothing questions, which arise each year as fashions change, will be answered in light of whether the clothing or accessories in question affect the School community and classroom environment.

Infractions of the dress code will be dealt with by the faculty and administration. If a student violates this policy, the student may be asked to wear appropriate clothing provided by the school over their own clothes or parents may be asked to bring appropriate clothing to school before the student will be admitted to class. Repeated violations may result in the student serving an after-school detention or being sent home.

School Supply List

The Upper School does not provide a list of required school supplies. Upper School teachers will advise students of specific items needed for their classes. Note that most Upper School math and many science classes require students to have a graphing calculator. School supplies (but not graphing calculators) may be purchased in the Seven Hills Spirit Shop. More information about the Spirit Shop and about allowing your student to have charging privileges follows.
