Elementary School
Elementary School Program Overview
The elementary summer learning program provides an opportunity for students going into grades 1-5 to practice and build upon their literacy and math skills. Students will also have daily enrichment activities and social-emotional learning opportunities.
Health and Safety
The program will be offered in-person this summer. We will use 3-foot spacing between students and staff, and follow public health recommendations on masks and other safety measures. Health and safety for students and staff is our top priority. Our safety expectations and plan are based on current guidance from local, state and federal public health agencies. Each layer of protection keeps us safer. If your student is unable or unwilling to attend in-person, we can provide a distance-learning alternative. Learn more about our health and safety guidelines.
