Elementary Summer Enrichment Program

The Elementary Summer Enrichment Program serves students entering 1st through 6th grade.

This Superstars in Education award-winning program will be expanded to serve more students this summer. This program is designed for students in need of extra support in reading and math. Teachers in the program use fun and engaging methods to introduce students to key concepts and vocabulary to give them a jumpstart for the fall. Additionally, students will receive small group reading instruction targeting specific areas of need.

Class sizes are kept small and the use of technology and interesting topics enhance the daily lessons. Statistics say children benefit from participating in a Summer Enrichment Program and the confidence they build through the program improves their school experience in the fall.

Invitations and registration forms will be sent to parents of selected Red Clay students. Please contact your school if you would like your child to attend but did not receive an invitation letter.

Information regarding transportation will be sent out in June.
