2020 K-5 Summer School

  • The Mercer Island School District will offer a three-week "Keeping Pace" 2020 summer program. It is available to current students in grades K-5 who meet the following criteria:
    • The student is enrolled in the Learning Support or English Language Program; or
    • The student earned below a "3" in reading/writing or math on the second or third-trimester report card;
    • The student did not earn a 3 or 4 on the Smarter Balance Assessment; or
    • The student's teacher recommended them. 
    This extended learning opportunity aims to support the academic skills of our current Kindergarten through 5th-grade students in math and/or literacy. Students will have the opportunity to develop skills in one or both areas. The fun, student-centered learning environment builds both skills as well as positive attitudes toward school.

    The elementary program will be at Northwood Elementary School. The dates for 2020 can be found below as well as other information.
