Summer Enrichment Opportunities

The following is information about summer programs that the counseling department has received. We do not endorse these programs, but provide them to you as a possible enrichment opportunity for your child.

Longfellow will be offering a Summer Intervention program August 3rd – 21st.
The focus will be on acquiring literacy, practicing numeracy, and preparing students for the next academic school year. Transportation will be provided. The program times are 7:30 -11:30.

Parents will be receiving a letter from the Student Services office if their child will be required to attend. According to the Middle School Promotion Policy: “Students who earn an ‘F’ as a final grade in one or two core subjects are retained and encouraged to attend the summer program. Based upon the extent to which a student demonstrates knowledge and competency of identified standards of achievement in the summer program, he/she will be promoted or retained. Students who are promoted will receive continued intervention throughout the school year. If a student does not attend a summer program, they are retained at the discretion of the principal.  Students who earn an ‘F’ in three or four core courses will be retained.”
