Elementary Summer Program
The goals of the Elementary Summer Program are to provide summer instruction and intervention in reading and mathematics, and an enhancement of science and social studies concepts for students currently in grades K-5.
In addition to the academic component from 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m., the program provides enrichment from 12:30-4:30 p.m. that enhances the academic work through art, music, drama, science, physical activities and technology. Classes will also work with student support staff to continue to develop their social-emotional learning skills.
