SUMMER LEARNING CAMP 2021:
Dear Parents,
The Tennessee General Assembly passed legislation to address learning loss due tothe COVID pandemic. As a part of this legislation, our school district has received funds to run a four-week Summer Learning Camp for students who are currently in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade. This means students who are in grades Kindergarten through 7th grade for the 2020-2021 school year can apply for camp.
The camp will run from June 1st-June 25th. Camp will begin at 8:00 and end at 3:00. Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided at no cost to families. Students will be engaged in reading, math, physical education, as well as other activities, each day. Additionally, transportation will be provided at all normal bus stops.
Since the intention of the camp is to help students recover from any learning loss that had occurred during the COVID pandemic, student attendance will be critical. If your student is accepted into camp, he/she will be expected to attend each day, unless there is an extenuating circumstance. Attendance incentives will be awarded to students who
exhibit strong attendance during camp.
In order for the district to prepare for camp, we need to have an indication of the number of students who will be attending. If you want your child to attend, please go to this link and fill out the form:
https://forms.gle/c2P3Jxinm77H6Rnc9
Please register no later than Friday, April 2nd.
For questions, please contact Brenda Hill at the Board of Education by email at brendahill@bledsoecountvschools.org or call your child's school.
Sincerely,
James Ellis, Director of Schools
