Students thriving in new
summer program
Housed under one roof at the Rutherford Elementary School, the newly
named Extended Year Program (EYP) has combined the previous Summer
Reading Academy and the Summer Learning Academy into one PreK
through Grade 5 summer school program.
More than 350 students are working on
their literacy and math skills in a relaxed and focused environment
in which students work to catch up, maintain, or prepare for school
in September. Most important of all is that students stay connected
to reading, writing, and math easing their transition to the next
grade and the higher academic expectations to come. The program runs
from July 16-August 10.
