Registration for summer school in the Hazelwood School District is open and will continue through May 20. Summer classes begin in June.
Academic Adventures, the elementary summer program, focuses on developing language, literacy and critical thinking skills, math concepts, reasoning and problem-solving. Students will be exposed to a variety of reading materials and children’s literature. Nine District elementary schools will serve as sites for the summer program – Armstrong, Arrowpoint, Brown, Grannemann, Jamestown, Jana, Larimore, McCurdy and McNair.
Sunny Start is for new kindergarten students and is designed to help prepare children for school in the fall. The program includes language skills, pre-reading activities, basic math concepts and fine- and gross-motor skill development. Students will attend at the elementary summer school sites.
For middle school students, courses are offered in core subjects such as communication skills, math, science and social studies, and a variety of electives.
QUEST, the transition program for new sixth-grade students, is integrated into summer school. The program gives students the opportunity to meet teachers, make new friends, become familiar with the school building, participate in team-building activities and learn the expectations and rules of the school.
Summer classes and QUEST will be held at each middle school in the district.
