Dear Families:
It goes without saying that the past year has been complex and challenging. We know that many students struggled with the lack of continuity that came due to hybrid learning, and, consequently, families may be concerned about skill development. As a result, we have developed a summer academy, to take place over two weeks in August, that will help students invigorate their academic and social skills, in the form of a unique summer camp opportunity.
The Spartan Summer Academy will run over two weeks in August, August 16-19 and August 23-26, with learning opportunities scheduled from 8-12 each day. We will be providing lunch, and we are working on transportation. As part of the camp, students will arrive and get a schedule for the day’s activities, much like summer camp, and be able to participate in a variety of skill developing workshops, including art and laser engraving, creative writing, history, math, anatomy, and a number of physical activities.
There is no requirement to participate, but we believe that students who attend this camp will have opportunities to enhance their learning experiences, fill some needed learning gaps, and reconnect with students and staff after a challenging year. There is no charge, and students can attend one or both weeks of the program. Details on some of the activities can be found at this page: https://www.uxbridgeschools.com/Domain/325
Questions can be directed to our Spartan Summer Academy camp director, Mr. Hurley Silbor. In addition, to help us plan accordingly, we are asking you to fill out this brief registration form if you are planning to attend.
We look forward to supporting our Spartans this summer, and enjoy the closing days of the 2020-21 school year!
Sincerely yours,
Michael Rubin, Principal Hurley Silbor, Spartan Summer Academy Director
