Extending the School Year

York Public Schools is proud to offer numerous ways to "extend the school year" for many of our students. We feel it is important for numerous children to stay academically engaged throughout June and July in an attempt to minimize the "loss" of academic knowledge/skills over the summer.

We are hosting six "Summer Learning Academies" the week of June 9th-13th. Please visit www.yorkpublic.org to see academy descriptions and to access a registration form. We have everything from a cooking class that focuses on fractions to an iMovie creation course to science-heavy courses dealing with plants and forensics! We're also offering two art courses for 6th-12th graders. Please check out our "Summer Learning Academy" offerings!

Our BOOST and ALL-STARS programs will run from 8:00 AM to Noon from June 2nd-July 11th. These summer offerings are an extension of our grant-funded after-school program that runs at YES/YMS throughout the school year.

We also have 10 students attending some "Bright Lights" courses in Lincoln the week of June 16-20. Add to this, our "Summer Reading Program" run by Title I staff on Tuesdays at YES, Credit Recovery Summer School at the Enrichment Center in June, and all of the SPED and Family Foundations offerings we provide all summer and you will see that YPS remains very busy in June and July.

Have an awesome week. GO DUKES!
