Did you know that all young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer? Students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer. This is called "Summer Slide," and it is not the fun, water one we usually think of with summer.

While summer is still a few months away, it's important to start planning for the summer now to ensure students use that time productively and are engaged in thoughtful activities. We encourage students to participate in activities that will help them reach their individual PLP goals. For some, that may be more math, writing, and reading practice so that they can improve their grades or ACT scores. For others, it may be engaging in a passion project or developing new leadership skills. Or, it can be a combination of all of the above.

Sign up your child up for Summer of Summit to help prevent Summer Slide. Go now to the Summer of Summit Registration Form OR pick up a registration form at your school's front desk.
