Get Set for a Successful Summer!

Three Cheers for Summer Programs!

While it's natural to want to take a break and enjoy the warm weather, summer school offers multiple benefits for students. Attending summer school enables students to catch up or get a head start on their studies, and the relaxed learning environment can help students feel more engaged and motivated. 
Maintaining academic momentum during the summer helps students avoid the "summer slide" and keeps their minds engaged and active, improving academic performance when they return to school in the fall. Summer learning can also provide students with opportunities for personal growth and enrichment. 
 

Make sure your school is staffed and ready for summer! Sub Teacher Source substitutes are ready and available to help with long-term summer assignments, and we are always on hand to fill in for your regular summer staff as needed.
