East Brunswick Public Schools

Please review these Summer Learning programs that are designed for school-aged children.

Community Programs is proud to offer the Early Learning Academy. The Early Learning Academy provides parents of 3 and 4 year-olds the opportunity to register their child for a 5 day/week, developmentally appropriate early learning experience within the school district. For Pre-K and those students entering Kindergarten, our summer offerings can be found on www.ebnet.org/elasummer. Registration is open!

For Grades K-8, we are offering multiple Enrichment Programs that can be found on www.ebnet.org/enrichment.

East Brunswick and Edmentum are offering K-12 students Exact Path access this summer!

Exact Path through Edmentum can help students in grades K–12 learn reading, language arts, and math. The tool explores what students are good at and what they need help with, then gives them lessons and practice personalized for them. If you are interested in this optional learning opportunity for your child this summer, read more below and click here to fill out this Google Form!

How does it Work?

1. Students can work in their Exact Path learning paths to make individual growth and master skills!
2. When a student completes lessons successfully earning 80% or above for each skill on their Progress Check (a short assessment that follows each lesson) they will earn Trophies!
3. Students can track their trophies by reviewing their Rewards area.

How often should my child use Exact Path?

Edmentum suggests 40–60 minutes each week on different subjects to make the most progress, but it is completely up to you and your child! This is flexible enrichment that works with you and your child’s needs and schedule during the summer months.

How can I access this tool for the Summer Learning Opportunity?
Click here to access the registration Google Form indicating your interest in Exact Path for your child by Monday, June 24th at 4pm. Reach out to Dr. Peluzzo, Supervisor of Educational Technology, if you have trouble with the form or decide after June 24th to add Exact Path to your child’s summer plans.

Exact Path is accessible from any web-enabled device anywhere students are learning. Students should go to https://login.edmentum.com/ and login using their school Clever or Microsoft account credentials.
