GGUSD Kicks Off Second Session of Elementary Summer Programs

A new session of summer learning is underway across Garden Grove Unified School District! This week, GGUSD kicked off the second session of summer programs, where they are strengthening academic skills, exploring new interests and staying engaged through hands-on learning and enriching activities. From Summer School to a variety of specialized programs, GGUSD's summer offerings help students build confidence, prepare for the upcoming school year and continue making meaningful progress while school is out. These engaging opportunities ensure students stay connected, supported and inspired all summer long.

High School Students Gain Real World Skills during Summer Internships

GGUSD's Career and Technical Education (CTE) program are turning classroom learning into real-world experience! This week, hardworking high school juniors completed week five of their six-week summer internships with local businesses and organizations across Orange County. From healthcare and computer science to media arts, hospitality and more, students are gaining valuable hands-on experience while developing the skills employers are looking for. As part of the program, students will also earn professional industry certifications, helping prepare them for future college and career success.

GGUSD Offers Free Summer Meals Program

GGUSD is offering its annual free Summer Meal program, including both breakfast and lunch, to help ensure that children continue to have access to nutritional meals when school is not in session. The program provides free summer meals to GGUSD students who are participating in Summer School and Summer Extended Learning Programs as well as to all school-aged children during designated community-based Summer Meal times offered at 13 school campuses and one public library.

Lunches, provided at no charge, are designed to meet a student’s nutritional needs, featuring meal items like sandwiches, pizza, breaded chicken bites, mini tacos, mini cheeseburger sliders, yogurt, a variety of fruits and vegetables from the salad bar, juice and milk. Breakfast options include cereal, breakfast bars, French Toast bites and pan dulce. Last year, GGUSD served more than 200,000 summer meals through the program.

GGUSD Offers Online Learning Resources to Keep Students Engaged

As summer begins, we encourage families to help students stay engaged and prepared for the 2026–27 school year. As we do each summer, GGUSD has compiled free online resources for students in grades K–12, including access to digital textbooks, learning platforms, and parent support tools. Students may use these tools to preview the next year’s content across subjects so they can be prepared for the academic year to come or to review concepts from the past school year they have yet to master!

School News Features Student and School Success

In case you missed it, our Spring 2026 School News publication is now available! Each year, GGUSD publishes School News in the fall and spring to celebrate the incredible accomplishments, programs, and success stories happening across our district. Take a few moments to explore the May 2026 edition and see how our schools continue to inspire lifelong success for every student.

GGUSD is Hiring College Tutors!
