Summer Bridges Registration Deadline
Kenner Discovery Health Sciences Academy
Dear KDHSA Parent or Guardian,
With the end of the school year quickly upon us, we know that you are making plans for your child's summer vacation activities. Summer months welcome the opportunity for fun, but also can be a great time to boost critical reading and math skills, bridge gaps in learning, and reduce the possibility of summer learning loss. In an effort to maximize learning opportunities, KDHSA is offering the Discovery Bridges Summer Program.
Discovery Bridges is engineered for current, returning students in Kindergarten through 4th grade who are performing below grade level in Math or Reading or need additional assistance staying on track. The program offers small group instruction in Reading and Mathematics and prepares students for maximum success when the next school year begins. Availability of specific grades and classes is dependent on enrollment numbers.
Bridges Dates: June 4 - June 29, 2018
Time: 8:30am - 12pm daily
Transportation: Limited bus service will be offered to transport students daily to and from Summer Bridges. For students not riding the bus, carpool will run through the the Horseshoe Parking Lot beginning at 8:20 for arrival. For dismissal, carpool will again run through the Horseshoe Parking Lot beginning at 12:00.
Cost:
Students who qualify for free lunch: $50.00, non-refundable deposit
Students who qualify for reduced lunch: $100 and a $50.00, non-refundable deposit
Students who do not qualify for either: $200.00 and a $50.00, non-refundable deposit
Meals: Free breakfast from 8:20am - 8:30am and free lunch from 11:30pm - 12:00pm will be provided daily to all Discovery Bridges participants.
Registration Deadlines: Deadline to submit registration is Friday, May 18th. The $50 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of registration to secure your student’s spot. The first installment of your tuition payment is due May 31st and the final payment is due June 15th. Please make payment arrangements with the KDHSA Business Office by phone or in person.
We look forward to working with your child this Summer!
Kindly, KDHSA Administration
