Over the past few months, schools convened their Recovery Community Corps (RCC) of teachers, staff, families, and community members to inform planning for this summer and beyond. You can now check out what your school’s Summer Acceleration Academy will look like this July and August.
Summer Acceleration Academies are forward-looking programs and designed to serve a targeted group of students at each school (approximately 10 to 35 percent) who require more focused support that provide both social emotional development and academic acceleration ahead of next school year.
Schools are reaching out to families directly to invite students to participate in a Summer Acceleration Academy.
