EL Summer Academy is for students finishing grades K-11 who are current English language learners in our district. During summer school, students will practice their language by listening, speaking, reading and writing about content area topics. In the past EL Academy students have used academic vocabulary to perform an experiment, experience an event in history, write a poem, and calculate the distance a wooden car travels. The main purpose of EL Summer Academy is for students to engage in fun learning activities that stimulate creativity and wonder.

Extended School Year is designed to support special education students in retaining skills that they have learned as part of their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Eligibility for participation will be determined by individual IEP goals.

The Credit Recovery Summer Academy offers SHS students the opportunity to make up credits that they need in order to meet their graduation goals.
