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.

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.
