West valley schools: Palm Springs Unified offers robust summer programs
Joan L. Boiko
As students and families prepare for the launch of the 2021-22 school year in August, Palm Springs Unified is providing an array of both in-person and online learning opportunities aimed at addressing learning lapses during the pandemic and providing a transition for students who have not yet returned for in-person instruction during the spring hybrid program. Students will be referred for academic programs by school site teachers and counselors, and parents will be notified of referrals by their respective school site. Knowing that some of our students have struggled academically, emotionally and socially during the pandemic, we have increased summer learning opportunities at all grade levels,” said Assistant Supt. of Educational Services Dr. Simone Kovats.
