Teaneck Public Schools: Summer Assignments

Dear Teaneck Families: 

The summer is a fantastic time to learn about a new topic, read a newly released title or sharpen recently acquired skills. Learning continues through all phases of the year, and we encourage all of our scholars to take advantage of the summer months to further their educational endeavors. 

In support of yearlong learning, you will find the 2026 Summer Learning Assignments/Recommendations below. This page is organized by grade bands and subject areas. Take a moment to review the posted assignments and/or learning recommendations. It is our hope that our Teaneck scholars will continue to advance in their learning as they enjoy their summer break. 

We also want to encourage families to take part in the various learning opportunities that are available here in the Teaneck Township: 
  • Teaneck Public Library: As students complete their summer reading assignments, we encourage our scholars to also join the Teaneck Public Library's Summer Reading Challenge! Information about the Summer Reading Challenge can be found here: TPL Summer Reading Challenge.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful summer break!

Middle School Reading

The Teaneck School District’s Middle School Summer Reading & Essay Writing Competition invites incoming sixth through eighth grade middle school scholars to explore a curated reading list over the summer and craft a thoughtful essay that connects to key themes from their selections. Participants engage in critical thinking and creative expression, submitting their essays by the designated deadline to compete for recognition, digital badges, and special prizes. This enriching initiative encourages students to continue learning beyond the classroom and celebrate their writing and analytic skills through summer enrichment.
