The purpose of the program being broken up into two sections is to utilize our resources to target instruction to specific groups of students.  The first session will run October 16^th – January 16^th and the second session will run February 25^th- June 13^th. Classes will be offered Monday-Thursday from 3 – 5. We will primarily be focusing on math and ELA to improve our college and career readiness scores. Teachers, parents, and scores on previous assessments will be used to select students. Letters will be written and sent home to parents.
