July 11 to August 5, 2016

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

On behalf of the entire STAR staff, welcome to the 2016 Summer STAR Program. Our mission is to provide students with a variety of interesting, stimulating, and fun classes taught by a highly qualified, caring staff in a safe setting. This year, the Summer STAR Program is at the Jefferson Elementary/Remington Middle School complex. A nurse is on staff each day.

The STAR Program is divided into two sub-groups: Academic STAR and Enrichment STAR.

Academic STAR includes Ready Set Kindergarten, Oceans of Fun 1, and Oceans of Fun 2. These classes were developed as an introduction for primary students to their next grade level. They are referred to as being “classroom based” meaning that they touch upon all of the curriculum areas of the regular classroom. Students may register for any number and any combination of weeks for these classes. A new theme will be introduced each week. Students may also combine a week or more of Academic STAR with a week or more of Enrichment STAR. These classes are taught by certified teachers and educational assistants.

Enrichment STAR includes over 66 classes this summer for students entering kindergarten through 6th grade. Classes are offered as full-morning classes, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. There is a supervised snack break. These classes are taught by certified teachers and educational assistants.

As always, please call the Lifelong Learning Institute with any questions at 508-553-4814 or email [email protected].

See you opening day!Seth Diamand, Supervisor and Kathleen Roberts, Assistant Supervisor

The Summer Math Academy is a place where children work together in a casual environment to enrich and extend their mathematical knowledge. The nontraditional setting allows curious and enthusiastic students to explore math, art, and science through hands-on interactive projects and in general, to share their love of mathematics.

Think you know what we do at the Summer Math Academy? You might be surprised. Campers are making tessellations on t-shirts, using pool noodles to blow bubbles, building solar powered helicopters and boats, and much more.

The Student/Teacher ratio will be no more than 12:1, which assures that each student receives individual attention.

Note: Students should bring a snack, a water bottle, and wear comfortable clothing since some of the activities will be outside.
