Elementary Summer Schools Elementary schools will have three sessions for summer school plus a special session for incoming kindergarteners called Sunny Start. All sessions are free to Hazelwood School District students and students who reside within the district. 

Sessions 1 and 2 will utilize an online learning platform developed by the Springfield (MO) Public School system called Launch. All of the Launch classes were developed by Missouri educators and are aligned to Missouri Learning Standards. The elementary classes follow a different theme each session and include up to 6 hours of teacher-supported programming in English language Arts (ELA), math, science, and social studies. In addition, there will be virtual field trips, arts content, and physical activity content. Click here for a video overview of the elementary program.Summer School Overview Video

Reading interventionists, math interventionists, and English Language teachers will be assigned to work with students identified by their school as needing more support during sessions 1 and 2 in addition to the Launch courses.

Session 3 (Jump into Learning) will provide an opportunity for students to bridge the learning gap from the school closures to help students prior to the 2020-2021 school year. Jump into Learning will primarily utilize digital learning created by Hazelwood teachers. Students will focus on the learning standards necessary for success at the next grade level. If the stay-at-home orders are lifted prior to Session 3, it will be offered both in-person and virtually. More information will be communicated about Jump into Learning in June.

Sunny Start is a transition program for students who will be in kindergarten in the 2020-2021 school year. The focus of the program is on the development of language skills and pre-reading activities. Children are exposed to a wide variety of children’s literature, poetry, song and movement activities, basic math concepts, letters and sounds, sequencing activities, problem-solving, and fine and gross motor development. This summer, activities will be emailed to families. If the stay-at-home orders are lifted, we will provide the Sunny Start programming in the school buildings on select Saturdays in late July/early August. More information will be communicated about Sunny Start in June.
