The 2010 Summer School offered a wide variety of classes to meet the individual needs of more than 285 participants. Classes ran from June 14 through July 23.
The Academic Summer School Program has three distinct programs including English Language Learners (ELL), Extended School Year (ESY), and Bridges. The English Language Learners Summer School Program is designed for students who are non-English or have limited English. These students learn to expand their English vocabulary and practice their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. The Extended Summer School Program is for children with an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Enrollment is based on teacher recommendation. Teachers work with students on IEP goals and objectives. The Bridges Summer School Program is a six week course designed to strengthen reading, writing, and math abilities. Teachers differentiate instruction in order to maximize student learning.
A huge thank you to 68 summer school teachers and to Heidi Priestley, summer school administrator. We also extend our appreciation the Meridian Middle School administrative team and teachers for use of the school building for summer school.
