Dear Summer Program Families,
We are super excited to see you on the first day of the 2021 Summer Program Thursday, July 8! We have a great team who - after a short break - is ready to offer your children a unique summer learning experience!
Before focusing on reminders, I want to thank you for your patience in waiting for this letter! Next, here are the key reminders and information to help your arrival and participation.
Find your child’s Grade Cohort designation for arrival purposes and to locate your child’s daily routine in the schedules below.
Please review the arrival and dismissal procedures for the summer program at the J.F. Cook Campus.
Learn more about the meal program (especially if you plan to opt-out) Meal Schedule for 2021 Summer Program.
Sign Up for free school meals in Infinite Campus Parent Portal if you have not yet done so (Instructions in English / Spanish).
Fill out the Covid-19 symptomatic and asymptomatic test consent forms (Spanish and English available) - highly encouraged and strictly voluntary.
Complete the community health agreement for summer if you have not done so already.
Immunization records must be up to date before arriving on campus, please email health@mundoverdepcs.org with updated forms.
Buy the Mundo Verde T-shirt uniform (if you do not have them) in Infinite Campus Parent Portal (discounted for FARM families). Students must wear these everyday!
Review and practice wearing a mask. All students are required to wear a mask while on campus except for designated times such as lunch. All visitors are required to wear a mask.
PROGRAM SCHEDULES
Unlike past summer programs, this year’s program is designed to recuperate learning loss and prepare children for the upcoming school year. You will see in the schedules below, blocks of time are reserved for specific curricula activities dependent on your child’s grade.
There is no shortage of fun as creative arts, music, and gardening enrichments, and as much outside time and play - as weather permits - are embedded in the program.
In Kinder, we will use Creative Curriculum in full Spanish immersion classrooms. Here is the Rising Kinder - 2021 Summer Program Schedule.
In 1st-2nd, we will use the Springboard Accelerator Program for English phonics and fluency with added Spanish language support through Mundo Verde’s homegrown ¡Adelante! Program. Here is the Rising 1st-2nd Grade 2021 Summer Program Schedule.
In 3rd-6th, we will use the Cadence Learning Curriculum. Students in 3rd-4th will read “Root Magic” by Eden Royce. Students in 5-6th will read “The Whole Story of Half a Girl” by Veera Hiranandani. Both authors of color! Here is the Rising 3rd-6th Grade 2021 Summer Program Schedule
WEDNESDAY FIELD DAYS
For Wednesday field days, your child will require: a swimsuit or clothes he/she can get wet (with your child’s name on it), a hat and sunscreen to protect him/her from the sun (sunscreen will not be shared), a water bottle with his/her name on it, comfortable clothes and shoes for playing in the park. Prior to the first field day, we will send out more information!
If you have any questions, please email summer@mundoverdepcs.org. See you on Thursday!
Sincerely,
Gloria Quirarte
Director of Extended Day Programming
