Bulloch County Schools will be hosting its Summer Learning Academies for children who have just completed any grade in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Register your interest online here now through April 25.
Families are asked to register their interest for programs for the grade level that their child will complete this school year. Space is limited, so only register for a program that a child will be able to attend at least 80 percent of the class days.
The academies will provide fun and engaging lessons and experiences that focus on the key English and math skills students will need to help them be successful in their next grade level. Some offerings will vary across the multiple learning sites.
The majority of the half-day programs for elementary and middle school students will meet June 1 through June 30, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Two additional 21st Century Community Learning Centers programs will specifically serve three elementary schools June 6 to July 1 and May 31 to July 22. A complete list of the nine learning sites is available below.
Participants will be provided breakfast and lunch at all sites through the school district’s summer feeding program. School bus transportation is also available for most of the learning sites, if needed.
For high school students, the school district’s Graduation Performance Academy is available again this summer. Counselors will work to individually refer students who could benefit from this program, or you may contact your high school guidance office for more information.
These summer opportunities were made possible last year and this year with federal relief funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. The COVID-19 global pandemic created learning gaps and many home and community factors that continue to affect learning. The school district began implementing a five-year plan last year to invest its federal stimulus funds to schools and to provide programs like these to best help children. School leaders estimate that it will take three years or more to help children recover the learning they’ve lost.
