Coming Up Soon in Wicomico Schools: Information On Summer School Registration And Dates

June 16-July 13
Elementary Summer School, Summer STARS
Charles H. Chipman and Glen Avenue Elementary Schools

A Summer School Program will be held this year for students K-5 at two sites. Kindergarten, first, and second grade students will attend Charles H. Chipman Elementary School and grades three, four, and five will attend Glen Avenue Elementary School. Attendance in summer school is for remediation only; invitations to attend summer school come from elementary schools, for students who the school believes would benefit from the summer academic experience. Summer School participation does not affect retention/promotion. Summer School is provided free for students approved for free school meals, for $35 for those approved for reduced price meals, and $75 for other students. Transportation will be provided by the Board of Education from the child’s home school or the nearest school to their residence to the summer school site, and back to the home school. Summer School will run Monday-Friday from June 16-July 13, with students off on July 5. Classes will be held each day from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Breakfast will be available from 8-8:25 a.m. Lunch will be served from 11:15 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. on a grade rotation. Dismissal will be at 12:30 p.m. Classes will concentrate on reading, math, and writing content areas. Class size will be approximately 15-18 students with a teacher and assistant assigned per classroom.

The Summer Stars Program will be held from 1-4:30 p.m. at Chipman and Glen Avenue Summer School sites for grades 1-4. The STARS Program will mail invitations and registration packets for Summer STARS to qualified 1st – 4th grade students based on enrollment in Summer School and previous STARS Program attendance.
