In an effort to make up for pandemic learning loss, Elgin Area School District U-46 is providing a variety of summer enrichment programs this year offering students extended academic, physical fitness, outdoor, artistic, and other experiences.
Typically, summer school is about credit recovery and making up for failing grades. But the district s response this year is heightened because many students struggled with distance learning and social isolation for much of the school year.
For the first time, the district invited community organizations to submit proposals for in-person summer programs that would provide fun, innovative enrichment and recreational activities for elementary students. Also new this summer are programs to help incoming seventh- through 12th-graders prepare for the school year ahead.
