Jumpstart to Kindergarten gives children with little classroom experience the opportunity to participate in a kindergarten setting and daily routines prior to the first day of school — a significant contributor to school readiness. Parents reported high levels of satisfaction with the program, including feeling comfortable approaching a teacher if their child is struggling, believing their child will be more successful in kindergarten, and being satisfied with excellent staff and teacher communication.

The majority of students who attended the program were rated as more proficient than their peers who did not attend in three out of four areas of measurement.

Extended Learning classes

Extended Learning programs provide additional direct instruction for students with smaller teacher-to-student ratios and a focus on specific skills identified by spring assessments. Summer programming in particular is designed to prevent learning loss so that students are better prepared for academic success as they enter into the next school year. In a program satisfaction survey, communication was an area showing tremendous growth from 2021 to 2022, indicating school district responsiveness to parent feedback.
