TAYLOR SUMMER ACADEMY: Enroll now, and help your child avoid the 'summer slide'

The Taylor Summer Academy, a free summer program, is going to be held at Hoover Middle School from June 23 - July 17.

Research has shown that children will lose ground when it comes to their academic progress over the summer.  It is know as the "summer slide."  One way to help combat this loss is through continued learning in the summer months.  The children in the Taylor School District have the opportunity to attend the Taylor Summer Academy.  Your child will have fun learning new concepts and gaining new experiences.

The Taylor School District's State and Federal Programs is proud to offer students enrichment classes this summer.  The Taylor Summer Academy has a variety of classes for students going into grades 2-8 in the fall. There is something for everyone's interests.

Class themes include:  art, travel, games, author studies, writing & illustrating, hands-on science, solving mysteries, animal studies, nutrition & fitness, and much more.  There will be two separate sessions offered with two classes each.  Your child can take up to four classes total if they choose to attend both sessions.

The Taylor Summer Academy is open to all students who are enrolled in the Taylor School District. There is no charge for this program.  It is funded through Title I.  Free transportation will be provided to students enrolled in the Taylor School District, as well.  Your child will be assigned a bus color and picked up at an assigned bus stop.  However, transportation will not be provided to students who are school of choice from outside the district.  Students will also receive free breakfast and lunch on the days that they attend the program.

Registration is going on now.  Students should have received the enrollment application from school and brought it home.  If you have not received an application and you would like to get one, you can contact your child's school, come to the State and Federal Programs' office room 204, or download and print the application at the bottom of this page.

Registration is going on now through May 22nd.  Classes fill up fast so get your application in early. After you fill out the application and before the end of the school year, you will receive your enrollment packet.  In this packet you will get an emergency card to fill out, a release form to fill out, a list of your child's classes, and, if your elected to use the provided transportation, your child's assigned bus stop.
