Pre-K3 through 8th Grade 

The goal of the summer program is to provide academic and social enrichment to help students meet the challenges they will face in the upcoming school year. New students will become familiar with the curriculum and culture of StJPII and make new friends. Returning students will build upon previous knowledge in reading and math. Students will be given the opportunity to use hands-on manipulatives and technology throughout the learning process.

Three Year Old Summer Camp 

At the StJPII three year old Summer Camp children will make new friends, learn new skills, and most importantly, have fun. The summer session will incorporate a variety of hands-on activities including academic basics, center time, arts and crafts.  Children will practice familiar skills, develop new skills and feel proud of their accomplishments while having fun.

 Pre-K4 and Kindergarten

Math – Through hands-on activities, emphasis is placed on number recognition, patterns, and counting.

Language - Emphasis is placed on letters, letter sounds, and letter recognition. Kindergarten students will practice pre-reading skills including blending and basic sight word recognition.

 

In Pre-K and Kindergarten students will be learning acceptable social behavior and critical thinking skills.

Math and Language 1st Grade 

Math – Emphasis will be on learning and using different techniques for solving addition and subtraction. Other skills covered will be telling time, recognizing coins, reading charts, and solving word problems.

Math and Reading/Study Skills

4th-8th Grades

Our 4th – 8th grade session is departmentalized. Math and Reading Skills taught will be according to grade level curriculum.  The Study Skills techniques and strategies will be based on the skills in our handbook, which students are taught at an early age at StJPII.

Other Activities

Other activities such as art and PE are incorporated into the day. In addition the students will have the opportunity to engage in three Summer Fun Days - field day activities and/or water activities, depending on the weather.  These activities will take place during the students’ recess time.

Dress Code & Lunch

Students may dress casually. Since recess is a part of the day, tennis shoes are required. Students will bring a lunch from home each day as there is no cafeteria service during the summer.
