Summer Bridge Expectations: It is highly recommended that students attend all days of Summer Bridge. Additional opportunities for Student Orientation, TSI Reviews, and TSI prep during the school year will exist. Summer Bridge is just for students. Parents may attend future parent sessions and parent-teacher conferences once the school year begins. Students who are unable to attend (such as students involved in UIL-related events in June) will have opportunities to take the TSI once the school year begins.
