Course Enrollment will begin on Monday, April 5th at 4:30 pm. This system helps parents manage their child’s summer school enrollment. In this system you will: • Create an account - (make a username/password) • Add Students • Enroll students into summer school courses • Obtain a copy of student’s schedule In order to facilitate this and make things easier for you, we implemented some constraints: • We require that you agree to our terms of use • We require certain contact information from you • We limit classes based on your child's age and/or grade level • Enrollments are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once a class fills, it will no longer appear on your enrollment screen. How to use the system The system is designed for you to "click around." With the exception of adding and dropping classes, there is really nothing you can do that will "harm" anything. so please feel free to explore all the links and buttons in the system. One very important note: When filling out a web-form, the information you have typed is not saved until you click "Submit." This system has a timeout that lasts about 30 minutes (if you are idle for 30 minutes, it will log you out). Please remember your login and password after you have created it! The system has a very basic layout. At the top is the Menu bar containing links to Home, Help, Logout, etc. Once you log into the system, another bar will appear beneath that which indicates your progress in the system. Completion Status: 1 - Parent Info 2 - Student Info 3 - Signups 4 - Verify 5 - Pay Schedule As you complete each step, the will change to indicating you have completed that step. The last step (payment) will remain red until the Summer School Office has received and recorded your pay- ment. If you have questions, please contact the Summer School Office at 608-743-5042. If, at any point, you do something that would make your progress incomplete (such as adding another student) these indicators should turn red again. However, there are some circumstances they may not, such as you cannot find any courses for one of your students, but you wish to finalize your registration. If you cannot find any courses for one of your students, this is okay! Just click onto Step 4 to verify what you have selected. If all looks good, click the "Continue to Payment" link that appears and this will tell the system that you are satisfied with your current selections.

  • Addressing Summer Learning Loss Through Summer Learning Programs
    ADDRESSING SUMMER LEARNING LOSS THROUGH SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAMS STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Research spanning a century provides evidence that students experience summer learning loss during the long summer vacation breaks. The time-off interferes with the rhythm of instruction that leads to forgetting and requires a significant amount of review when the next school year begins. On average, students perform one month behind where they were when the school year closed, and teachers spend a large part of the first two months of school reviewing material. A survey of teachers across 15 cities found that 90% spent anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks re-teaching the previous year’s subject matter. While all students feel the effects of summer learning loss, summer learning loss disproportionately impacts children from low income families. All students generally lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills during the summer months. Children from families with fewer resources; however, often lose up to two months of reading achievement while their peers maintain or have even slight gains. Proponents of the “faucet theory” argue that during the summer, academic resources for low income families are effectively, “turned off”. Middle class families, on the other hand, can provide the resources that their children may need for remediation, enrichment or acceleration activities during the summer months. Moreover, the negative effects of summer learning loss are cumulative and contribute to an achievement gap that widens over time. By 9th grade, almost 2/3 of the achievement gap between disadvantaged children and their peers can be attributed to summer learning loss in the elementary school years.

Some communities had long summer breaks that released children from school in spring to help with planting and in fall to help with the harvest, while urban schools sometimes operated on 11- or 12-month schedules. By 1900, migration from the farm to the city and an increase in family mobility created a need to standardize the time children spent in school. The present 9-month calendar emerged when 85% of Americans were involved in agriculture and when climate control in school buildings was limited.
