Greetings! With summer quickly approaching, you may be wondering about summer school. The following is a quick overview of the summer school program for students in grades 6-8. Please review this information and if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact the summer school cordinator.
Participation: The program for students in grades 6-8 emphasizes providing additional academic support for students. Students must be recommended for participation in one of the 3 courses below in order for them to enroll. Parents of students that are recommended for Summer School will be informed in a letter sent in May. There are 3 enrichment programs: track, weight lifting and the diversity academy. Students do NOT need a recommendation to register for these three programs.
Courses: The courses offered this year are:
1. Math for Success: Reinforcement of math concepts, such as basic computation skills. Students are recommended for this course based on their Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) scores as well as their classroom performance.
