The district offers several opportunities for students during the summer months. These opportunities have a positive impact on students' academic and social-emotional development. In addition, it is ideal for reigniting students’ love of learning and engaging them creatively, thus increasing their confidence and helping them feel more prepared at the beginning of the next school year.
Please see the detailed list of offerings. Enrollment is limited to a first-come, first-serve basis.

Appointments
We strongly encourage that you not make any appointments medical or otherwise during the school day. We understand that some situations cannot be avoided, however, the disruption to the school day for your child and the other children in their class a substantial every time you pull them out. Please note, if a student is taken out for an appointment they cannot return for the rest of the day.
Visitor Entry
Visitors to the building must make an appointment. All visitors to the school must enter through the metal detector at the main entrance on Erie St. and sign in at the security desk. This is a point of safety and protection for all of our students and staff. All doors outside are locked throughout the year and you may only enter through the main entrance in order to come into the school.
Important Updates to School Breakfast & Lunch
Please note that last year, all students were free for breakfast and lunch. This year, we will have breakfast in the classrooms for free (Grab & Go in grades 3-8). However, lunch is not free unless your child qualifies. To qualify, you must complete a lunch application. The link to the application is above. We hope every family can complete one. The more applications completed, the more likely we’d get more funding.
Lunch costs $3 for those who do not qualify.
Add money to your child’s account through: https://www.myschoolbucks.com/ver2/getmain?requestAction=home
Students may bring in lunch from home if they prefer not to have school lunch.
Entrance Procedures for the 2022-23 School Year
Please note that all students are returning for in-person instruction and we have made some adjustments.
Note: All Middle School Students will enter the alley entrance on Pavonia Ave. and go through the metal detector and bag check in the cafeteria. After clearing, students will report to their first-period classes and not their homerooms.
Grades Pre-K through 5 will pick up outside (first-period teachers in Grade 5 will pick up their students) on Thursday and Friday. Beginning Monday, September 12, students in grades 3-8 will go up on their own in their designated entrances.
