SMCPS Summer Learning & Recovery
While many students were able to successfully progress through the 2022-2023 school year, others struggled. The summer program will serve two purposes, with the overarching goal of providing all students with access to recovery:
closing learning gaps through recovery; and
accelerating learning for future success
SMCPS Summer Recovery Site: Please visit the Courses page for summer learning materials as well as the Extended Learning page (scroll to the bottom) for enrichment opportunities. Read every day!
