Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are thrilled to share some exciting opportunities for our students this upcoming summer. We are committed to providing enriching experiences that foster growth and learning even beyond the regular school year.

Firstly, we are offering the traditional summer school specifically in math and reading for students who qualify. These classes are designed to help students who may need additional support to excel academically. Participation in this opportunity is by invitation only, ensuring that resources are tailored to the students who can benefit most from these targeted interventions. If you have not received information about summer school and think your child might qualify please do not hesitate to contact your child's building administrator to discuss further.

Additionally, we are pleased to announce a variety of one week camps for both middle school and high school students. These camps will run Monday through Thursday, from 8 AM to 12 PM, and include both breakfast and lunch. This year's lineup includes:

Middle School Camp Flyer (Incoming 6th-8th graders)

High School Summer Camps Flyer (Incoming 9th-12th graders)

These camps are designed to provide students with unique experiences, encouraging them to explore new skills and hobbies in a structured, supportive environment.

We anticipate that spots will fill up quickly. We encourage you to register your child as soon as possible to secure their place. See the flyer for more information.

To register please fill out the camp form that will come home with your student or call the Middle School office at 231-627-7103. Our team is here to help in any way that we can.

Credit recovery will also be offered this summer for High School and Inverness students.

We are looking forward to a summer filled with learning, growth, and fun. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement as we work to provide meaningful opportunities for all of our students.

Warm regards,
