Summer Learning

RSD13 will offer several summer learning opportunities to enhance the education of our learners. The programs are as follows:

  • Extended School Year (ESY) Summer School is designed for students who receive special education services and is mandated through the PPT process and a child’s individualized education plan. 
  • Summer Learning Opportunities (SLO) is designed for students in grades K-12 who receive special education services but do not qualify for Extended School Year Summer School (ESY).
  • Summer Academy (SA) is designed for select learners currently in grades K-2 who receive intervention services in math and reading.
  • Kindergarten Academy (KA) is a program offered to all incoming Kindergarten children to provide them with time in a classroom prior to the start of elementary school.
  • Summer Boost is designed for all students entering grades pre-K to 8 who want to extend their learning over the summer through an optional, online choice board of learning tasks (please see below).
  • Coginchaug High School has a required reading assignment for students in grades 9-12. Mrs. Stone, the high school principal, will send out a letter with the information for all high school students and parents. Please see more information about these required reading assignments below.
