All current Barringer STEAM students who are moving to the next grade are required to complete a summer reading packet. Each packet requires reading a full-length text over the summer. These texts were given to students during the week of final exams in their 2017/18 ELA classes. If you were not present during that week and did not receive your summer packet or text, you are responsible for purchasing the accompanying text.
