Some after school programs adjust for Gulfport s year-round school plan By Brandy McGill | March 15, 2021 at 6:37 PM CDT - Updated March 15 at 6:54 PM
GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - In July when many children will be out of school for summer break, class will be in session for students in the Gulfport School District. One preschool/after school is working to make this a smooth transition for parents as the year-round school year gets closer.
“We made the decision to adopt the same school calendar,” said Kid Academy Executive Director Matt Dickens. “So when the Gulfport school kids are starting in July now, our pre-school students are going to start in July. We’re going to follow that same schedule to stay on track with the Gulfport School District because roughly around 90% of our students are future Gulfport School District children.”
