2019 K-5 Summer School

  • The Mercer Island School District will offer a three-week "Keeping Pace" 2019 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-trimester report card; or
    • The student's teacher recommended him/her. 
    This extended learning opportunity is not like the typical "Summer School" model made famous in pop culture. Our program 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. They will have a great time in a fun, student-centered learning environment.

    The elementary program will be at Northwood Elementary School. The dates have not yet been finalized, but the team is tentatively looking to hold summer school Monday through Friday from July 8 to July 26. A formal decision on dates will be made on or before February 22.
