We are pleased to announce our 2018 Summer School schedule! Summer school will be offered concurrently at both Edison North and Edison South July 30 - August 10 from 8:30 am-11:30 am, Monday through Friday. Teachers will be focusing on math and reading skills and will plan their lessons according to the needs of the students who enroll.
Summer school provides an excellent opportunity for students to review essential concepts and brush up on skills over the summer break. Teachers will also consider students who would greatly benefit from the extra instruction and practice available during summer school. They will be contacting parents soon to make personal invitations. If you receive a teacher phone call or email regarding summer school, please seriously consider enrolling your students as this will enhance their educational experience. Even if your children excel, summer school is a great opportunity to keep them “sharp” and ready for next year.
The cost for summer school will be $75.00 per student. This works out to about $2.50 per hour, which is less than daycare and much less than many of the summer school programs offered around the valley. Students are expected to follow the school dress code during summer classes. Closed toed shoes are required for your child’s safety. Please see the parent handbook at thomased.org if you have questions.
If you would like to have your child attend summer school, please call the campus you would like them to attend and register by Friday, May 4th to assure we have instructors in place before the end of the school year. Please give the secretary academic information about your child’s summer school needs. Payment is due May 18th. Class size is limited so don’t wait to register!
TutoringWe are also offering a list of teachers and aides that have a desire to tutor. If you would like your child to have individualized or small group tutoring, please email me at [email protected] or ask the front office and we will send you a list of possible tutors along with their specialty and rate of pay.
Online resources like IXL or Khan Academy are also great ways for students to get math and grammar practice in over the summer. Some programs are free. The combined math and language arts membership for IXL is $15.95 per month. Students can try a few problems each day on IXL for free or can use their school account (grades 4 and above).
We look forward to sharing more knowledge with your children this summer!
