PROGRAM SCHEDULES
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, students will participate in full Spanish immersion classrooms with read alouds and complementary activities to expand their love of reading. Here are the campus schedules:
In 1st-2nd grade, students will compare characters, setting, and sequence of events, through the dynamic read aloud of four Spanish language books. Here is the
In 3rd-6th grade, students will read “Esperanza Rising”, a story about a young girl’s journey across the US/Mexican border by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Here is the
FIELD TRIP
We are excited to announce that we will be taking the children on a field trip to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens as part of their sustainability learning during the SY22 Summer Program. Students will have the opportunity to engage with the Junior Ranger Program who will lead fun explorations of the park’s habitat, the plant and animal life and its history as one of 400 National Parks set aside for protection in the United States.
Each campus will travel to the gardens by grade groups on different days. We ask families to fill out and return by July 15, 2022 the permission slip for your child:

HEALTH & SAFETY
Masking
Currently, Mundo Verde is reviewing the indoor mask policies. For now, indoor masks remain mandatory in the Summer Program until further notice. Outdoor masks remain optional.
Testing
Covid testing will proceed bi-weekly (every other Monday) starting from Monday 7/11 and continue through the end of summer school, assuming community spread remains at low level. Covid testing consent forms will not need to be resubmitted, as summer school is a continuation of our 21-22 school year. We will immediately notify individuals/their guardians of a positive Covid test result. We will be testing 10% of our unvaccinated population.
Our Summer school staff will have access to Covid testing as needed for symptomatic presentations and post exposure testing. This will be facilitated via self antigen testing and saliva PCR testing, as appropriate.
Test-to-Stay
We will continue to provide Test To Stay as an alternative to those who would have otherwise needed to quarantine, post exposure.
If you have any questions, please email summer@mundoverdepcs.org. See you on Monday!
Sincerely,
Gloria Quirarte
Director of Extended Day Programming
