Summer Learning Activities
Summer Reading Assignment

USA Testprep

Every Daniell Middle School student can benefit from using USA Test Prep to improve CRCT scores.  This home-based internet program is simple to use and your child's science teacher has already helped him or her set up a member login
 account.  Teachers can actually monitor how often your student uses the program.  USA Test Prep supports language arts,reading, mathematics, science, and social studies by breaking down questions into the same domains as tested on the CRCT through vocabulary, tests, practice, games, and videos. Encourage your child to get started and log as many hours as he or she can, even if just playing the games.  And if you are up for the challenge, it makes for great family trivia too! 

If your child is new to Daniell, just email Principal Nelson for your activation code.


Band and Orchestra
Instrument Test Drive

Attention 6th Grade Students - Are you considering joining band or orchestra? If so, make plans to come to “test drive” the instruments that 6th graders can learn to play! You can drop in at any time, stay as long as you want, and leave whenever you’re done.  Try to arrive by 1:30 pm at the latest so you will have enough time to try all the instruments you want to try.
