Kindergarten through Grade 8 June 21 - July 23 Students must register at their grade level during the 2020-2021 School Year
SUMMER LEARNING ADVENTURES INFORMATION We are excited to offer our resident families a return to in-person summer school courses for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade this summer! Similar to our approach to school this past year, our summer school program will balance a commitment to the health and safety for students and staff with the belief that in-person programming is a key strategy in supporting many students’ academic and social emotional development. As we continue to navigate the current health pandemic, we recognize that any in-person interactions carry a degree of risk. In collaboration with the Waukesha County Health Department and our District Medical Advisory Board, we have developed a comprehensive approach to mitigate health risk. Additional information about Elmbrooks disease mitigation strategies are outlined in the infographics at the end of this booklet.
