Summer Program Family Update #2

Dear Summer Program Families,

This is our second communication to you after the launching of the 2022 Summer Program on Monday, July 11! Currently, we have fewer students enrolled in the summer program than expected. On the upside, this makes for a low student/teacher ratio allowing for personalized instruction. On the downside, we may need to combine grade groups and reduce contracted specialties. More news to come on this front!

PAYMENTS
We ask families to pay their remaining balance for the summer program by July 18. If you do not know the amount of your balance you can email summer@mundoverdepcs.org.

SCHOOL MEALS
It is not too late to sign up! Families can now login and sign-up for the school lunch. We fixed the problem with sign ups by reopening the school meal tab in the school store. Do not hesitate to email summer@mundoverdepcs.org if you have trouble signing up. Breakfast is free for all the students in the program.

PERMISSION SLIPS TO KENILWORTH GARDENS
Families are reminded to submit their permission slips for the field trip to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens by July 22, 2022 to their child’s classroom teacher. We welcome 1 parent chaperone per grade group. Chaperones must submit negative Covid19 test results. Please inform your child’s teacher of your interest. If you need a paper copy of the permission slip, ask your child’s teacher or the front desk. Here are the permission slips organized by grade cohorts:

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Extended School Year (ESY) is off to a great start! Our special educators and related service providers are excited to continue working with your children. We will continue to share critical information with families as we go through the summer.

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
We seek your support with the Arrival and Dismissal Process. We ask families to walk your Rising Kinder student(s) to the daily entrance point and to check them in with the teachers on a daily basis. Teachers will not accept Rising Kinder students without a parent check-in. Help us keep your children safe!

Please review the arrival and dismissal procedures for the summer program:

Find your child’s Grade Cohort designation for arrival purposes and to locate your child’s daily routine in the schedules below:

PROGRAM LEARNING AND SCHEDULES
Students are enjoying their book clubs where they are reading in Spanish in all grades. Early readers are learning to read and upper learners are practicing their comprehension. All the students are exploring and practicing grade level math skills in preparation for the upcoming school year. As well, the students are expanding their science knowledge. Note: Your child may come home asking for supplies such as plastic water bottles, paper rolls, or other items for the classroom science projects.

Ask your child how his/her day went, and do not hesitate to give us feedback based on what you learn!

Here are the program schedules for you to view your child’s day-to-day activities.
