MEMORANDUM

RE:Kindergarten through Third grade PLUS Project, Summer 2016

DATE:February 25, 2016

All Española Public Schools Elementary schools have been funded to provide summer services through the “Kindergarten through Third Grade PLUS Program (K3+)” for the summer of 2016. Elementary schools will offer 5 weeks of summer classes for incoming Kindergarten – 3rd grade students for the upcoming school year as part of our Jumpstart Program offering an additional 25 days of classroom instruction prior to the start of the upcoming school year.

The project goals will allow students in K-3 to develop and improve in the following areas:

Pre-Literacy, Literacy and Literacy Intervention Skills
Pre-Math, Mathematical, and Mathematical Intervention Skills
Socio-emotional skills and physical development

The program will start on July 5-August 8 (5 weeks, 25 total days). Española Public Schools (EPS) will provide breakfast and lunch. Furthermore, EPS will provide bus transportation for students who participate in the program.

This program is open to all incoming kindergarteners for the 2016 school year (Must be 5 years old by August 31, 2016 in order to enroll in kindergarten), as well as current kindergarten, 1stgrade, and 2nd grade students. In order to plan for this valuable program, it is essential that we know how many students and families are interested.

The future and academic success of our students strongly depends on their participation in programs that support and enrich classroom instruction. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local school.

If interested, please return the attached registration form to your local school immediately.
