Summer Learning

Who would benefit from a Summer Bridge Program?

Students who need additional support to be prepared for the next school year due to learning losses during comprehensive distance learning. This program is ideal for students who would benefit from literacy support, math support, or social-emotional support. It is an opportunity for middle and high school learners who earned D’s/F’s, to recoup skills and/or credits. Lastly, it supports those students who had limited internet access or engagement in Comprehensive Distance Learning or the Hybrid Model this year.

Purpose of the Bridge Program

• To develop skills and strategies, adding new content as appropriate, will be essential to set the student up for success for the next year.

• To bolster academic stamina and increase confidence as we head into the 2021-2022 school year.

• To provide a bridge between last year’s academic content and next year's expectations.

Scappoose recognizes that transitioning to a new school can be a HUGE adjustment for students. In order to support students through that transition, we have created a summer transition program entitled Jumpstart. The Jumpstart Summer Transition Program is a fun-filled week designed to introduce your student to their new building and the ins and outs of school life in a smaller group setting.

Who Should Participate?

Programs will be at the following transitional levels:

• Kindercamp - students transitioning into Kindergarten; locations: Grant Watts and Warren Elementary Schools

• Kindergarten to 1st grade; locations: Grant Watts and Warren Elementary Schools

• 3rd grade to 4th-grade; location: Otto Petersen Elementary School

• 6th grade to 7th-grade; location: Scappoose Middle School

• 8th grade to 9th-grade; location Scappoose High School

The Jumpstart experience allows students opportunities to refresh their academic skills and learn the school readiness skills essential to better transition themselves to their new grade and/or building. The program carefully blends the following curriculum areas: literacy and math strategies, study skills and organization, advocacy and self-help skills, making friends and problem solving, and “Safe, Respectful, Responsible, and Kind. In addition to this, participants will learn school-wide expectations and procedures, e.g. learning the campus, technology resources, and faces around the building. Students will be provided breakfast and lunch each day. At the end of most experiences there will be a culminating event to celebrate the effort of all of the student participants.

Program Details

• Dates: Monday, August 2nd - Friday, August 6th. The length of the different programs may vary (some may be 2-3 day programs, while others are 5 full days). Students should make every effort to attend the ENTIRE program.

• Times: Full Day Programs; 8-3pm

• Transportation is provided (Reservations requested at the time of program registration)

• Breakfast and Lunch are Provided

Staffing for the program will include certified teachers and classified staff that are able to best address the transitional needs of students.

We believe in the importance of parents and teachers as partners in a child’s success, therefore, parents will receive daily communication in order for them to continue the learning process at home.
