Summer Learning supports students with diverse abilities (please read carefully with attention to the deadlines):
 

All students may register for Summer Learning. Students who have an Inclusive Education Plan (IEP) with a designation (A-H) may be considered for additional support through a district needs assessment and planning process. Check your child's current IEP for their current category. 

Based on individual student needs, available documentation, and district review, supports may include:

Provided:

• A Summer Learning Plan (SLP) based on the current IEP
• In-class accommodations, as needed
• Access to an on-site learning support teacher, as needed

May include (based on assessed need and available staffing):

• Education Assistant (EA) support

Important:

• Not all students who receive EA support during the school year will receive EA support in Summer Learning
• Supports are determined through a district process and may differ from those provided during the regular school year
• Summer Learning is a supplemental program, and supports are provided within available timelines and resources
• EA staffing is allotted to summer schools in accordance with SD43 procedure

Commitment to equity and access
The district is committed to meaningful access and inclusive opportunities for all learners. Support decisions are made through a collaborative, student-focused process that considers individual needs alongside program structure, timelines, and available resources.

Timeline
