Welcome To Summer School 2012!

4 Week Session:  Monday, June 18 – Thursday, July 12

(No school Wednesday, July 4)

 

Information:

·          The Cottage Grove site will be located at Taylor Prairie School.  This site is for K-5 Cottage Grove students.  The site supervisor is Ms. Jennifer Klas. There will be four class times available between 8:20-11:50.

·          Bussing is not provided for K-5 students.

·          Children may sign up for as many consecutive classes as they would like to take, but due to large numbers of enrollments, the number of classes available may be limited. 

·          Students may sign up for each class only once.  Classes cannot be repeated during the same summer school session.

·          There is a 10-minute mid morning recess. Students may bring a snack.

·          Supervision does not start before the first class, so please have students arrive right at the start of their first class.  There is no supervision after class dismisses at 11:50.  Students must leave school grounds promptly.

·          All registration will be done online.  Students who are referred for reading and mathematics will be pre-registered.  This group of students will be able to register for enrichment classes to complete their schedules before other enrichment only students register. 

·          Students enrolling in only enrichment classes will register starting April 17 at 6:30 pm.  Please use your child’s CURRENT GRADE when registering.  Parents can register online from your own home computer.  If you do not have computer access at home, you may register in the Taylor Prairie or Winnequah computer labs on April 17 from 6:30-7:30 pm.  Remember that it’s first come, first served for enrichment classes, and the spots fill quickly.  If a student who is taking enrichment classes only is signed up before 6:30 p.m. on April 17, the student will be dropped from summer school.

·          We will use current emergency contacts (including hospital and physician) and health concerns that are in our current student data base system.  Please make sure that information is up to date.  If your child attends IHM or does not attend one of the MG schools, please email us to request a health form.  It is your responsibility to make sure summer school staff has this information.

·         

The Monona Grove School District is committed to providing a summer school program for district residents, that addresses the needs of students who need reading and math support; secondly, the district provides enrichment classes based on available room space.  We invite you to read through all of the class choices with your family and encourage your participation in these fun learning experiences.  We are looking forward to another successful summer school!
