1st through 11th-grade students in Mesquite ISD keep their school-assigned device year-round
This change was made to ensure all students have access to ebooks, audiobooks, and the ReadSquared summer reading program at home on their own device all summer! Additionally, taking their device home over the summer will allow all students to access online educational and enrichment resources to explore and create. Reading, thinking, and creating over the summer will continue to build the skills students learn in school and decrease the chance of learning loss while school is not in session.
See below for tips and ideas to help your student learn and explore on their device all summer.
