E.2. *Summer School Report
Speaker(s):
Robert Moore
Agenda Item Type:
Consent Item
Rationale:
The Bellevue Public Schools offers a variety of summer programs for students, each program serving its own purpose. As the district evaluates summer programs, the staff is proactive to ensure each program continues to meet the intended purpose. In total, 3779 students participated in the district's traditional summer school program.
The elementary summer school program is designed to provide enrichment and remediation opportunities for students in an environment where content is delivered in a variety of creative ways. This year's MAP data assisted teachers in guiding instruction to students. The Elementary summer school was held June 6 through June 24 at each elementary school. 49% of the elementary/preschool students attended summer school. The secondary summer school was held for all five schools from June 6-July 1. A wide variety of courses were offered in addition to transition courses for students entering seventh grade and 8th-grade students. 37% of Middle School Students participated this summer. At the high school level, approximately 39% of all students participated. Most of the entering 9th-grade students earn credit in physical education and health. Also this summer, options in personal finance were added. This allows these students more opportunities in their schedule to take other elective classes. High school summer school also consisted of credit acquisition and credit recovery for students in grades ten through twelve in most core areas. STEM Camps (math, science and technology) were held for three weeks, June 27- July 15, and served 204 students entering sixth, seventh, and eighth grades with a limited enrollment. Students participating in the camp were taught by BPS educators who expanded student opportunities beyond what is offered during the school year. The fee for the camp was $100 per child, per week. World Language Camp was held June 27-July 1, and served 45 students grades fourth through sixth. This camp was sponsored by the DoDEA IMPACT-WL grant and free to students. |
