High school locations for middle school programs
The four high school locations for summer learning will house programs for students of different grade levels. This includes current 5th and 8th graders as well as current high school students. Rest assured that the needs of each student group have been taken into account. District staff have experience with coordinating the use of facilities for different age groups at the same time.
The high school buildings are large enough to provide separate areas of the building for the different programs. There will also be a separate lunchtime for each program and each program will have a designated Student Resource Officer (SRO).
For students who will be riding district buses for transportation to summer sessions, student age groups will be separated on the buses as well. Elementary students will sit in the front of the buses and secondary students in the back.
