Box 36 Pulaski, WI 54162 Phone: (920) 822-6053 Email: [email protected] Website: www.pulaskipace.org Director: Mark Heck Phone: (920) 822-6051 Email: [email protected] Assistant: Sue Wheeler Assistant: Rachel Setliff Welcome Welcome to Pulaski Summer School 2017. We are excited to kick off another great year of summer school in the Pulaski Community School District. We have been busy planning this year’s summer school and are happy to again have many of our popular class offerings, as well as new programs our families and students will enjoy. In Pulaski, we feel we offer the best summer school experience in Wisconsin because we have excellent teachers, great classes, great facilities and a recreation program that keeps our students active and engaged in learning! As always, Pulaski’s Summer School is built on flexibility. Students have the option of enrolling in one class or taking a full day of classes, as well as staying for our afternoon Red Raider Recreation (RRR) program. From the Superintendent Greetings! I hope that you are each enjoying a successful, #RaiderStrong school year. While there are still months of learning and growth to enjoy this school year, it is also time to begin thinking about opportunities to continue learning and growing through summer school. Our PCSD summer school staff have been busy planning and preparing and have an outstanding program with innovative new offerings as well as some of your favorites and are eagerly awaiting the summer school season! We look forward to sharing exciting learning experiences with you in the coming months. In order to make summer school accessible to all students, we will again provide busing from the outlying elementary schools to Summer School sites during each term. We are pleased to continue offering breakfast and lunch to all school aged students! Stay tuned for more information on our options for breakfast and lunch during the summer, brought to you by our district food service department. New this year is a one-day adult summer school! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to both teach and learn through these offerings! I hope that you’ll consider joining me! You can find more information on this new program on page 51. I encourage you to explore all that the Pulaski Community School District has to offer families throughout Red Raider Country. I look forward to seeing you at Summer School 2017! Bec Kurzynske Superintendent Follow me on Twitter @beckurzynske #RaiderStrong From the Director Dear Summer School Families, Continue to think warm thoughts, Summer School will soon be here. The program will move back to the Middle School this year. Early Childhood, 4K and 5K programs will again be at Lannoye. The future of summer school in Wisconsin seems very bright. We have had some changes from the state that have gone into effect and will positively affect us. There is a possibility of many more positive changes to come in the near future. The one change that everyone will notice is summer school can now be offered 24 hours a day. In the past, we were limited to 4.5 hours per day. The one actual change I will talk about on page 7 is for Red Raider Rec. Starting in July you will notice a drastic decrease in the cost of RRR. Enjoy the sites and sounds of new life this spring. Soon summer school will be here before you know it. See you June 12th.

Please be sure to familiarize yourself with these changes, as we will have to adhere to them to keep our program running smoothly. This year the majority of Summer School classes will take place at Pulaski Community Middle School (PCMS). Reading & Math Workshop will be held at PHS in the Social Studies Pod. Swimming lessons and RRR will be held at PCMS. Getting Ready for 4K and Getting Ready for Kindergarten will be held at Lannoye Elementary. All Summer School swimming lesson fees must be paid to PACE at the Summer School Office. Please do not pay these fees at the pool. ****NEW THIS YEAR***NEW THIS YEAR****NEW THIS YEAR***NEW THIS YEAR**** WATCH IT HAPPEN RRR-------->Afternoon Á la Carte There are many proposed changes coming from the DPI in regards to summer school. The state would like to see more districts run a program similar to ours in Pulaski. Much research shows a slide in student performances from May to September. I think common sense would tell us that 3 months without a structured classroom setting would, at minimum, halt the growth of a child’s educational base. Taking six weeks of enrichment classes helps keep math and reading skills sharp for most students and some may even see increases. In the past, the state has only allowed summer school to be offered for 4.5 hours per day. Now we can offer summer
