(July 8, 2022) In honor of National Summer Learning Week from Monday, July 11 through Friday, July 15, the Rochester City School District is celebrating its Summer of Discovery, with summer learning programming now through Wednesday, August 17, 2022.
The RCSD’s Summer of Discovery provides students with increased opportunities for acceleration and the ability to participate in skill-specific programming. Instruction is being offered at all grade levels, including elementary (K-5), middle school (6-8), high school (9-12), and Extended School Year. The District also offers a number of community programs at City R-Centers and will continue its participation in the Summer Meals program, where every child in the City of Rochester, 18 and under, has access to free, healthy meals all summer long.
“This is an exciting opportunity for our scholars to tackle unfinished learning over the summer months,” said Superintendent Dr. Lesli Myers-Small. “This targeted programming gives students multiple opportunities to attend various programs throughout the City of Rochester and at St. John Fisher University.”
The District is dedicated to elevating the importance of keeping kids learning, safe, and healthy this summer, highlighting several of its programs next week:
