Dear Families,
As the end of this school year approaches, we have been busy planning for the 2017
Summer School session. Classes will run from Thursday, June 8th through
Wednesday, June 28th; 8:00 – 11:30 am. I would like to invite your child(ren) to
participate in this educational and fun experience.
This syllabus contains a listing of the possible class offerings. As in the past, the
determination of which classes will be held is decided by students’ choices through
the registration process. If a large number of students sign up for one class,
additional sections will be offered or enrollment may be limited, depending on
teacher availability. If a class does not have a sufficient number of students
enrolled, the class cannot be offered.
As we continue to focus on education, we are recommending each student to
register for a minimum of 1 academic class. These classes are listed in the very
front of the booklet. To complete your child’s schedule, select choices from either
the 1st or 2nd sections, for a total of 6 choices in the order of preference. In the
event several of your child’s priority choices are unavailable, you will be contacted
in order to make other selections. When looking at the syllabus, use the grade level
your child will be in for the 2017-2018 school year.
Registration for mini courses is also available. Please list the choices which are age
appropriate and of interest to your child.
As in previous years, breakfast and lunch services will again be offered during
summer school with no cost for either meal for anyone 0 – 18 years of age due to
the district’s free and reduced lunch status. I encourage you to take advantage of
this opportunity.
While completing this registration, if you have any questions, please feel free to
contact the Elementary Office at 255-8561. We look forward to including your
child(ren) in this year’s summer school experience.
Sincerely,
Chris Lindner
Principal
