Summer learning

Summer is a wonderful time for students to continue their education at home by looking at the world through a lens of learning! We are excited to announce this year’s Anytime, Anywhere Learning Calendar to keep the learning going throughout the summer. This calendar has suggestions for learning activities in reading, math, and social-emotional learning along with community events. You can find this calendar on our school website at https://bit.ly/DS_SummerLearni...  beginning Monday, June 20th and will provide 9 weeks of learning, community &  fun! 

Some activities do require supplies (coloring utensils, notebooks, etc.), therefore, if you are in need of any supplies, you can contact your school or email summerlearning@distinctiveschools.org to request what you need.
